do you use the library?

[helen01]

does anyone go down to thier local library to use the internet? i am here at the moment, you can use it for an hour a day, for free. we have been using this service for years now.

I use the library for borrowing books. We have broadband wireless internet at home so it has never occurred to me to use the library, just easier to do it at home (we never max out our downloads so that's not a problem). But we get books every couple of weeks. Have recently started letting 18 month old DS choose a book when we go, so he can learn about the joys of the public library too. When he's a bit older, I'll take him for story time.

I use ours for book & video borrowing & sometimes photocopying. I have unlimited broadband here at home so no need to use the internet elsewhere. :)

I just borrow books too.. there are internet terminals there but they are always being used. Just as well we have broadband at home!

Before I moved in with my brother I had to access the internet from the library. I also check out books and occationally dvds.

I took the kids to the library here when we first moved here but the library isn't that flash. I use to use the library for borrowing books back in Emerald. You have to book the computers here and seeing as I have broadband and a router for the girls Internet we dont need the library.

Both my boys recently got their own cards and we go there every two weeks so they can borrow books :)

I've used the libraries to do assignments and every now and then to borrow a few books. Don't really use the internet there much as ours at home is pretty reliable and faster... have used the photocopier and booked small rooms though.

i think the last time ive been to the library was in high school..LoL....

i dont go to public library....now youve mentioned it..i think i will try to go and visit it sometimes...
bcoz of work i barely have time to read books. i just buy them then gets stucked at the bookshelf. if im not mistaken..i have 21 unread book in the shelf..some are still sealed.

I used the library for the internet when I first moved here before I had the computer set up and I started using it for borrowing books for my little girl but we dont tend to use it much at the moment.

[mejane]

I've just finished reading three books from the library:
The Robots of Dawn - Isaac Asimov - Brilliant!
Avatar - Donald Beman - So-so
The Brethren - John Grisham - Not bad

I'm going to start getting novels to read from the library. When I take back the books I have at the moment so some good authors would be good to look up. I mostly like romance novels lol but I'm open to try other ones although dont do sci fi

[mejane]

I love sci fi :)

[sandydee]

i borrowed a book from the library called angel eyes about a woman who goes blind as a young girl ,marries then gets her vision back ,it was excellent . i enjoyed it and vread it in a couple of days. author ...lisa reid it is her true story

[Supa]

Our library has a book called who writes like.......... & you can look up your fav authors to find someone else who has the same writing style its really cool

[michelle_72]

Supa - thats a neat feature for a library to have - similar to the perfume stores that do - if you like this scent - try this - it saves you having to look around yourself to find something you like.

[Chockygirl]

I use my local library a lot for borrowing books,cd's and dvd's and checking out family history,
I never buy magazines any more as they are all over priced and it's good to catch up with all the latest goss every now and then.
They also have installed 10 new swishy computers and I love using them when I have the chance as our computer is almost six years old and VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERY slow.:head:

[yomamma]

I haven't been to the library since the kids started school. but i keep saying I'm going to go I miss reading. But since I'm always on the computer I don't know when I'll get time to read.
