It'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'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't
beat that.

It was a
great, quiet place to meet. I love libraries.

student, and it was the best job ever. The only thing that stinks about libraries where I am is that they
(amazingly) are not open on Saturdays!!! That is so inconvenient!

teeny-tiny town at the time, and the book mobile came by. (It wasn'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'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 "check out" tickets to local attractions.

a huge list of books to purchase because I can'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.

pressure mean taking funding away from libraries. Local politicians are so short-sighted at times.

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'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'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?

with late fees... ridiculously huge late fees. Its frustrating and stressful. I know I'm the only
one to blame but still I don'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'm there. But rarely do
I ever leave with anything anymore

my house, and it's great. 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'm a big fan.
