Do you take advantage of having a local library? email this discussion to a friend?

When I was a kid the library was the place to go and get books. Times have changed with the internet and TV but libraries are still around. I have two kids and we go to the biblioteca at least once a week, sometimes twice. Do you take advantage of this local staple that you pay taxes for anyway?

I do not go to the library normally. There is a big bookcase full of books at the post office that I go to that are from the library. You can take them out on the honor system. You take them, read them, and bring them back when you are done. I actually have one that I need to bring back tomorrow when I go to the post office.

Good thing I sparked your memory. I use to live in an apt. complex and they had a huge library with the same idea. It was cool because we donated some kids books to them when we left.

Yes, I do go to our local library, gitfilleplayer. I will check out books and I will take my children there so that they can do the same. Ours is a small library and doesn't have a huge selection on site, but they will order anything I request.

The only thing that I don't like about our library is that the librarians are so rude -- they talk loudly all the time!


myLot reputation of 97/100. gitfiddleplayer (5477)   ranked 2 out of 67 in reading  2 years ago

I guess the "SHHHHHH!" rule doesn't apply to them, hmmmm. My kids love the library, since we travel we are collecting library cards, I know, not a hot ticket item but later on it will show them where we were and what we did.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 3 out of 67 in reading  2 years ago

Collecting library cards is a neat idea. Unfortunately, we couldn't do that in my state because you have to have proof of residency to get a library card.

I work in a public library, so I guess I could say that I definitely use it. But, I would use it anyway even if I didn't work at it. Libraries are changing, though. They are fast becoming more like community centers where you can do programs and classes. They're becoming more promoters of education rather than just a depository of books. I get fewer and fewer questions about research and more questions about the computer and the programs our library has.


myLot reputation of 97/100. gitfiddleplayer (5477)   ranked 2 out of 67 in reading  2 years ago

Cool, I snagged a librarian. Most of the libraries I've been in are updating for their communities. I was going to teach english to those who wanted to learn but I moved before the classes started. I'm sure I'll try again though. You're right, the library has become a meeting place for all sorts of activities.

I still use my local library, they have many more facilities there than just books, you can borrow CDs, DVDs use the internet for free etc. I don't go as often as I should but when I do I am able to take a few books at a time and keep for a few weeks. Ellie:D


myLot reputation of 97/100. gitfiddleplayer (5477)   ranked 2 out of 67 in reading  2 years ago

I love the CD selection at the library, I practically get everything they have since I write for a music site. My kids get their limit on DVD each time we go. Its more educational for them to be able to check out books and learn the Dewey Decimal system since we home school.

I don't use the public library in the town I live in because the selection and quality of the materials isn't what I'm looking for. We actually use the library from the county that we work in. Because we are county employees, they still let us use the library. My son loves going to the library. He has been going since he was 6 weeks old and gets very exciting about getting to check out books. In fact, he is lying on the floor right now reading a book.


myLot reputation of 97/100. gitfiddleplayer (5477)   ranked 2 out of 67 in reading  2 years ago

Mine are watching videos, The Berenstain Bears. My kids have grown up at the library too. They wouldn't know what to do if we couldn't go.

hi There.

We really don't have a local library near my place but we have local libraries in other cities. It is really nice to have a local library especially when we want to study and get some books to read for past time.


myLot reputation of 97/100. gitfiddleplayer (5477)   ranked 2 out of 67 in reading  2 years ago

Libraries are the life blood of a community, its too bad you don't have one closer, but at least you know where they are and can get to one if you need to.


myLot reputation of 97/100. jesbellaine (3192)   ranked 20 out of 67 in reading  2 years ago

Yes, I used to go there when I was in highschool if I need to research something from a very very old book. Cheers!

Yes, but I have not been to one in a while. I was there last year... But when I do go, I love to check out horror and suspense books. They are my favorite..


myLot reputation of 97/100. gitfiddleplayer (5477)   ranked 2 out of 67 in reading  2 years ago

I can get lost in the library, I suggest they give us hard core libers a shopping cart. I would fill that baby up!


myLot reputation of 98/100. Apriljess (639)   ranked 48 out of 67 in reading  2 years ago

When I was little I lived in the library after I got older life took over and I hardly ever get to go any more. Infact a few weeks a go I went to check out a book and it had been so long since I been there I had to have a new card made because they had switched everything around to a computer scan check out where they scan each book and a receipt comes out and tells you your due date unstead of stamping the books. So yeah that was a surprize.

i definatly go to the library when i can. yeah looking things up on the net is good but i find that i have more of an appreciation for what i read when i have the physical book in my hand.


myLot reputation of 97/100. gitfiddleplayer (5477)   ranked 2 out of 67 in reading  2 years ago

I spent a few years in the legal arena and doing research on line was good, but I had to have the book, some people just need to have it in their hands. Don't worry, you're normal.

Hello my friend gitfiddleplayer Ji,
Base will always remain, or building would scatter like playing cards. So use of library would always remain, as it has got lot many benifits, library could be in floppy/cd/mp and so on, but making use of library has its own charm. I too use library. We have our own mini library at home, which serves our purpose and we keep adding books of our own choices. have a nice time.

I love going to the library. As a college student after Starbucks it's like my best friend. I take out books that I read for pleasure and I just love it. If the library that I go doesn't have it then I put it on hold online and then another library that has the book that I need sends it to me library and I could pick it up there. Then there are times when I need a book for class and I am able to find it in the library and don't have to spend a fifty or a hundred dollars for a book. When this happens I get really happy because I save money.


myLot reputation of 97/100. gitfiddleplayer (5477)   ranked 2 out of 67 in reading  2 years ago

Love your avatar. Saving money is always good. One library devoted a section to me because I reserved so many CD's. They knew me by name, talk about a regular. NORM!


myLot reputation of 96/100. ayumitakashi (2228)   ranked 13 out of 67 in reading  2 years ago

Thanks and that is so funny. I think everyone knows me in my library by now. I have been going there for like ten years already. But I really like the library.
