How often do you go to the library?

**Michelle** · 10-12-2005, 11:23 AM

I love, love, love going to my library. I'm sure I'll love it even more when they move out of their temporary location and into our new library

Anyway, I really love getting children's books there as well as reference books and novels for me

I typically go once a week.

How about you?

We were going once a week, but have been slacking off over here. We'll probably start going more often again. Zachary's class does "Book It", so it's another good reason to go more frequently.

I go once a week every week , If I didn't I would owe a lot of fines or miss out on the books they have on hold for me each week. I even have my own shelf behind the counter to keep all my holds , that's how many I have each week!! LOL

Sara, what is "book it"?

**Early Bird** · 10-12-2005, 02:53 PM

I go on the days DD has speech therapy -- Mondays and Thursdays, this semester.

**Kimberlina** · 10-12-2005, 02:55 PM

At least once a week, often 2 or 3 times.

I go 3 times a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I usualy spend 1 hour sitting around reading magazines. Then pick out a music CD or books on CD. And if theres a certain book I want to read or subject that I want learn about I check the book out to read at home.

We have many library branches in the county so I'll look for a book on the libraries database and if it's not at my local library I will reserve it and I get an email from them when the book is ready for me to pick up. And their open 7 days a week

I love my library

I don't read many books now! When I 1st moved here I'd be @ the library just about every day then learned how to use the INTERNET there. I didn't have a computer yet that was hooked up for online.

They just built a new bigger library in my area & have books on ipods they let you borrow them just like a book.

They say it's cheaper to download then buy the real book.

Now that I have my own computer I don't go there but if there's a book I want I can check it out online & then pick it up @ the library

I go about once or twice a year-- when ever they have their book sales. We don't have a library, so I go to neighboring towns and purchase tons of books for .10 each or less, read them, then sell them at yard sales for .25-.50 each!

**Emerald_Mommy** · 10-13-2005, 03:11 PM

2-3 Times a week. We load up on books & also get movies, books on tape, c.d.s, etc. Our library system is wonderful!

**Lori Biever-Launder** · 10-16-2005, 04:20 AM

I've got you ALL beat--I am there five days a week! Seriously, I work at our library, so that's why I am there so much. BTW, I do SO have a life! ROFLLL

**Jellybeanz** · 10-16-2005, 08:27 AM

I go about once a month. I renew online after two weeks. I would go more if it was closer (30 minutes away) . I used to go to a big library that had a great selection, but it was over and hour away. Now that my car's getting older I hesitate to take longer trips , plus the gas issue means I limit my trips much more now than usual. Thank goodness for the internet.

**KKCondrey** · 10-16-2005, 09:03 AM

I go about 2 times a week. I rent a movie or two on Friday's and have to have them back before they close on Monday.

I love the library. I actually pay $20 a yr to go to the library across the river in another state (OH) I've been doing this for years and think it's one of the best investments since I use the library alot. I usually go on Sundays at 1pm (thats when they open) There is always a few of us parked in the parking lot right before 1 waiting for the doors to open--I like doing that, for some reason LOL. Another thing I like about my library is that they also give you 2 keychain cards besides the credit card looking one. That is really handy not having to worry about if I have it or not. I also like their website where you can find out if the book should be in or if they have it and also check what books you have out and also can renew online (which comes in handy in the winter alot) I also love going because I feel like it's a big candy store where you go in with no money in your pocket cos ya dont need it-haha.
sorry about the long post but I LOVE GOING TO THE LIBRARY!!! ppl at work think i'm a nut cos i get all excited about going to the library on the weekends

I visit my library twice a week, and borrow books, magazines, DVDs and videos for myself and my children. We love it! I reserve a lot of books, because I love to read, and love to read a wide variety of different things....

The library has an online catalog, and I can check new resources coming in, make reservations and see when my items are are due back and renew them myself if necessary. I would be lost without my Library!
