I like to go to the library every 3 weeks with my son. I borrow 6 books from him. Our library is very close from our house, only 3 minutes walk. * Do you like to go the library? * What do you borrow from library? Books, DVD or games? * Is your library far from your house?

My son and I love going to the library. Earlier we would only borrow books from the library. NOw, there's a new library near where we stay that's specially for kids and has toys and interactive CDs too that you can borrow. So, we borrow Cds and books from that library.

We are allowed to keep the CDs for 2 weeks which is long enough for us and it's not movie Cds alone. It's mostly educational Cds that we borrow.

I like going to the library 'coz I can borrow books for free and for a long time (a month) he he he...I borrow one children's book per month 'coz I need to learn Finnish. I can't borrow thick books 'coz it'd be too hard for me to read he he he...I've never borrowed DVDs from the library, though. The library is only about 10 minutes away from my apt. (if I walk relatively leisurely). ;-D

me and my son try to go every week but it is pretty far away. So we don't always go weekly. we love checking books. he plays with the toys and I pick out books to read to him daily. I pick out ones I know he'll love. then after we're done reading them before they go back I talk to him and ask him which one was his favorite, then i go on half.com and see if I can get him one cheap and in great condition. I sure hope all this reading to him, he'll grow up and be a good reader and love to read.

Yes, I go to the library close to home regularly too. I like the quiet and clean feel in the libraries. Usually, it is just books that I borrow.

During my school days this was the place i hated to go.but now the situation has changed and i frequently visit the library.i have a good library at my college and i take a book for general reading atleast once in a week.i usually prefer analytical books rather than novels because i think thos are more informative and enjoyable.but the lone problem with me is that most of the times i take the book and forget to return it in time,so almost every time i am made to pay the fine.

Yes i am a member of a library. I joined as a private member afer my marriage. I normally visit the library monthly to get books on management,technology and finance. My library allows four books at a time but i only get two issued as this is what i can cover in a months time when i need to return back the same. The library is at a 10 minutes drive from my home.

Oh I love the library. I go at least once a week and take my son too. He loves book. He gets up to 8 books each time and I get a few out for me too. Sometimes we also get a dvd if he finds one he likes. The library is about 10-15 minutes by bus which i think is not very far!

I used to go to the library as a kid all the time. I'd only get books though; I was and am a bookworm. :P As time passed, though, I kept getting late fees and also had more money, so I began to just buy my own. I haven't been to the libarary (except to donate books) in years.

Oh yes, I love the library. Or more correctly, I love reading. I am an avid reader and so I need to visit the library often to replenish my supply of books. Buy them would not be feasible since I read so much and I have neither the money nor space to accommodate the books I read. :P Good thing is, the library is a short trip or acceptable walk from my house. We have libraries everywhere in Singapore so I don't always visit the nearest one - so I can tap into a different variety of books. And I borrow only books. =)

I enjoy reading a lot. When I was studying in University I used to go to the library to do some reasearch and study there as well, because it's the most quiet place you can find to study. Now that I'm already working, I still find time to go to the Library, though it's very far from my place. I like going there and spending my free time there. I usually read and borrow books.

Hi! I borrowed some books from the library in our city several years ago. I haven't borrowed books for a long time because I'm busy. And when I'm free, I'd like to take my kid to the book supermarkets where we can read freely. At the end of weekends, there are many kids with theri parents reading books at the book supermarket.

we don't have a library in our place. But i work in a University, with cds, dvds, and pocket books, games for students and employees to borrow, I usually borrow cds here for my kids. However, they don't have books for children, so all I can borrow are cds. How I wish there's a library close to our place.

Hello! I used to go to the library almost every day when I was studying in the university. I borrowed books,DVDs from the libraries usually. I also borrowed some of the megazines there and I like them pretty much. But nowadays I don't go to the libraries cause it's somehow far from my house.I sometimes go to the bookstores to buy books or download them from the internet. If there's a library close to my house,I think I'd like to go there. I still like the feeling and environment:)
