the public library in our community is 15 minutes away on foot so I walk there everyday wih  2 different reasons: one is to have a good excuse to walk away some weight and the other one is to get to read latest published books with free PC classes organized by the library.

We've been going a lot more lately, probably once a week average.  My family is really trying to trim our budget and that means no more renting movies, buying books, etc.  The library has been wonderful!

Just whenever I need to borrow a book, which is not very often. If I read as much as I drive, I would be a genius!

I use it every now and then to print stuff out, take copies, use the fax and sometimes the computers when my internet service is down.

Used to go to the library and pick up recent fiction once a month or so.  Recently, since I'm spending so much time on the computer, we're going less often.  Just don't have the time to read like I use too.

 I love using the public library. I try to go at least once a month or so, if not more often. I'm into Criminal Justice, so I am always looking for new and updated books on the topic. I remember growing up, we had the "decimal" system, with the actual files that you had to pull the card out of. It was such a pain in the butt, going alphabetically down that row of cards, trying to find something that peaked your interest. My favorite thing about the public library now-a-days is the computerized decimal system. In a matter of seconds, I am looking at all the books related to the topic of my choice! It saves so much time, which results in me being able to go more often, say, for example, right before I go to work.
