When was the last time you went to a library? - Page 2

Monday. Go once or twice a week for children's books for my son and novels for me.

Probably over 10 years ago for me.

I live right by a library, so I go often. Once a month. Maybe more.

I don't see the day that I'll ever get a Kindle. I'm too used to holding a book in my hands.

I don't really utilize the library as much as I'd like to. When I was in High School I went to my school's library every off-period I had. Take care of homework or read a book (Read books 1-4 in the graphic novel series "Buddha" about 7 times over because they never got any of the newer ones in.

)

Since High School, I've gone maybe 20 times to a library. Went to my town's library twice for presentations. Checked out a law school library while I was on a tour of the school. And then my school's library a couple of times for group projects and to find somewhere to go when my roommate sexiled me. Wrote a decent amount of my thesis there because Brendan Frazier was filming a movie, but I didn't get to see him.

Last time I was there, per my FB status update (

) was April 18th at 4:30 AM.

Printer in my room wasn't working, so I needed to use the library's printer.

I never thought I would either, but I have a Kindle Fire as a cheap tablet to take with me and I have added a couple books on it. Rocks for reading in the dark though...

I would get a kindle if I could use it at work, but I can't.

I love having a Kindle. I don't have any more space on my shelves for more books.

I have a lot of books that I've read that are sitting around my house. I know that I should take them to a library and donate them, or take them to a used book store, but I never seem to get around to it.

Books are so expensive these days. That's why libraries are so good. The bad thing about libraries is, where I live anyway, funding for them is being dramatically cut. That means means less money to buy books. When you want to read the newest books, you have to go on a list and wait your turn. When I put the first of the Hunger Games books on reserve, I bet I had to wait 2-3 months to read it.
