Do you have a library near you?

I am so lucky to have not one, but four libraries near me. My regular library is a two minute walk from my house, I have just joined one which is a five minute walk from my place of work, and then I have two within a 15 minute bus ride. For someone who loves to read as much as I do, it’s a great place to be! I would be lost if I didn’t have even one library that I could go to. Do you have a library near you?

You are lucky to have so many libraries close to you we only have 2 libraries close by us. I get all my books offline through the library because I do e-books.

@marlina I do too, but some of them are so heavy to hold for long periods

@tina30219 I still haven’t moved across to ebooks yet. I think I probably will one day though. I am Just a bit of a dinosaur!

Yes, I do, within about 15 blocks. I keep saying some day I am going over there and spending the whole day browsing and reading odds and ends. The problem with libraries and me is that I always check out too many books! then I can't get anything else done but read. Awful, I know.

I am lucky that there are two libraries nearby my home. My son even goes there to be the volunteer sometimes. I am glad that he enjoys reading.

Yes, I do have a library near by. It's about a 20-minute walk from here. By bus it's more like 5 minutes. I don't really go very often.

Not close to where I live but close to where I work. A big library in the city and small ones in every little town. It is all one system so no matter which library I get a book from, I can return it to which ever library I am passing by.
@YesWay (3674)

@paigea Yes our libraries are all in a kind of network like that It is handy

Not sure how close the closest one really is, but I know of 3 that are on a major Bus line and easy to get too. Just do not frequent one much anymore it seems since I usually have plenty of Free access to all the Books I want to read.

I live in a very small town of 3000 but we do have a library. My sister used to work in a library and her library is part of the Chicago system so she can get any book she wants.
