I&#39;m totally guilty of ordering books for years on Amazon. It&#39;s just so easy to order everything you want in your pajamas and have it delivered to your front door. Recently, I re-discovered our local library. I haven&#39;t gone since I was a kid and I was blown away by how nice our local library is! I can even order books online and have it delivered to the local branch for $0.75. Can&#39;t beat that.

Last summer I tutored a former student of mine and we used the local library. It was a great, quiet place to meet. I love libraries.

I loved the library but really haven&#39;t been to one in a couple of years. I get free and cheap books to review or on Kindle.

The only thing that stinks about libraries where I am is that they (amazingly) are not open on Saturdays!!! That is so inconvenient!

(It wasn&#39;t big enough for a library.) I was so amazed that I could pick out any book I wanted and they would just let me take it home to read.<br /><br />As far as what services I take advantage of now, there&#39;s interlibrary loan (which not that many people seem to know about), speakers and classes, a little art gallery, and books of course. They also let you &quot;check out&quot; tickets to local attractions.

I wish my library had a greater collection though, I always arrive a booksales with a huge list of books to purchase because I can&#39;t get them at my local library.<br /><br />Once in a while, I just spend a lot of time at Barnes and Noble to catch up on reading and standardized testing prep.

I use it continually..as soon as someone mentions a book on the internet I am looking at it in our library online catalogue and can even have it held for me. The whole family uses it and we even trade books we are reading. It makes u a more rounded person...when u know that it doesn&#39;t cost u anything to take out, u will read books from many other fields and subjects.<br />LATE FEES: Put on yr agenda to check yr online acct for books due. Go every week or every 2 weeks as a regular appt...ie mondays after gym swing by library. Set up a reminder notice on your blackberry or send yrself an email with the due date in the subject line.

I&#39;ve been a library patron/geek since I was a little kid. I&#39;ve almost always lived within walking distance to my local library - and I never cared if it was a little junky library with minumum resources - there was/is always something good to read.<br /><br />How about library science for your next career move?

I don&#39;t think I&#39;m capable of returning books on time so I always end up with late fees... ridiculously huge late fees. Its frustrating and stressful. I know I&#39;m the only one to blame but still I don&#39;t borrow books from the library anymore for that reason. Though, I do love browsing the library and picking up a few books to look through while I&#39;m there.

Not only that, but it provides access to those that lack the resources to just buy from Amazon, and acts as a community hub. I actually spent my high school years working in a public library, so I&#39;m a big fan. MW http://www.blogger.com/profile/03553149161732015866 [email protected]
