I will buy books I know I will probably read more than once. I haven't been to the library much because my schedule changes so often I can't always get them read in the allotted time. I do enjoy downloading books on my iPhone so no matter where I am if I have some time too kill I can squeeze in some reading.

It takes me forever to read a book so I buy my books.  Still trying to get myself through the Lord of the Rings books.  Just too much to do in the day that I don't have that much free time anymore.

I'll do any and all three.  My next quest is to find a copy of The Magnificent Ambersons by Booth Tarkington, hopefully at the library but off Thriftbooks.com if not at the library.

I usually just buy books since I'm into more historical ones

I never buy books I always got to the library.  Buying books for me is a waste of money.  I never read the same book twice.

I buy books by my favorite authors when I can.  We have a store nearby that sells used books.  It's a great system.  When you are done with a book, you take it in and get credit towards your next purchase.   It keeps the costs down and if you want to keep the book, it's yours. 

I do use the library as well, and have recently gotten a nook.   I have not been reading as much as I would like lately since this year is a very busy one for me at work, and my son is graduating high school in a few months, but I always have something available to read.

I prefer to borrow books from the library before making a purchase decision.
