Do you use your local library?

If so, how often and what for?

No, but I need to. You see, I'm a bit of a hoarder when it comes to books. It would be better to check them out from the library, than to own so many-at least in my case. I just moved two weeks ago, and it looks like I'm gonna need at least 4 full-sized book cases for the majority of my books, if I want to unpack them all. That doesn't include the 10,000+ comics I have in storage!

no

no i use my moms :-p on occasion to get books

Not a lot...I used to...now I just google everything!

yes, very often...i get lots of research tasks

at least once a week

Shhh! I have a book that should have been returned in 1981!

I don't know where my local one is..

Yes, only to read some specific stuff for research work

No, because my nearest library is miles away

Yes, mainly to borrow books, but sometimes i go and do some work there if it's not to full.

Local what? What is a library? Kinda like a re-hab center?

No. Everyone has laptops or pc's now a days!

YES!!! I didn't for years but now I take my kids there for an outing, and to get them a new set of books every couple of weeks. I don't have much time to browse for myself but I look stuff up online and reserve books via the internet for collection. I think libraries are such an under-used resource.

Yes, when I'm in my home town I use them once a week, mainly for the computer. x

actually i used to, until i discovered a treasure of books in Internet.

er na

No, so cumbersome to go to the library. I just search and browse through the internet.

No! I took some books out and went on holiday, only to discover that I couldn't renew one of them while abroad because it was reserved by someone else...result...a big fine when I got home. Libraries, they can all close as far as I'm concerned.

no
bcoz there r no local libraries for miles.....

I use it for free and sometimes half-decent DVD rentals but mainly to sit there and read electronics project magazines for an absolute last resort for something to do with myself. I maybe go there 15 times in a year.

Not since they started issuing warrants for peoples arrest who are late returning books. I'm not going to jail because I forgot to return a book on time. That's just stupid, they can keep their books.

hahaa i didnt no we had one lol i google evrythinng

no. i prefer to buy the books.

Yes, about twice a week and it is very modern and and up-to-date. I love it. I am grateful to have such a great library.

Yes,
for paperback books and the odd CD... they also do DVD's, videos and have a computer suite.
I like fiction as well as reading a lot of reference material

I used to get three books a week, but I tend to spend more time reading the 'net now, and so I read fewer books.... generally I visit about once every 10 days.

{edit} I wonder if there is a connection between the awful spelling/ grammar and 'txt speek' exhibited in some of the above answer (Kat, Roshane s, vaibhav, wright).....and the fact that they *don't* use libraries.

Haven't been in a library for about 15 years, if not more... Probably not since school and it used to be for research, now with the internet, all the info is at your fingertips allowing us to sit at home, and eat pizza while we search for the information and get fat instead of jumping on the pushbike going to the library!

Never

no i dont cos i never remember to take me books back then they send me a bill for how much i owe em so i tend to stay well away. *lol*

Yes

No and I havent for about ten years
