Library: Do you still go there?

February 20, 2017 11:23am CST
We live in a highly technological world nowadays, and the old interests are being reformulated and consequently, old habits are being modified or replaced. Reading on paper is one of that old habits, with the digitial arrival the libraries seem to be getting more abandoned in some places and this is really a shame. I go regularly to libraries because I consider it a place that conveys a very good feeling while I'm reading (technology still can't do this).

We go to the library all the time . . . we go the public ones and on the local college campuses. Yes, there is something about real books (paper and pages) that is magical to me . . . I don't like reading on a screen.

@Marilynda1225 Now that you mention Kindle, I discovered it is an app on my phone. I normally do not do anything on my phone in the way of apps, but I am curious what could be downloaded and read. How was adjusting to reading on a screen?

I also like the feel of a book but I do have many books downloaded on my Kindle which the library here doesn't have so I have the best of the reading world

Yes I do, but it mostly to use the free internet there. Ocassionally I will exchange books there as well, or go to meetings.

Morning News Paper is still popular everywhere. Library is not for knowledge only but for also good social relations.

I go a lot to the library. I sign out books, movies and magazines. And I have signed out walking poles and snowshoes, and children's games. I use their wifi and I use their computers. I belong to a knitting group there. I have attended all sortss of other events there. And if I wanted I could sign out ebooks. And I could sign out movies digitally

I don't go to our library very often but there are less and less books and more and more DVDs and stuff.

I regularly visit the my kids's school library. I wish I could have access to a university library as well, but the ones nearby are strictly regulated.
