I love going to my library. I  usually check out 2 books a month during the summer. I love to read.

I haven't gone this year -- mobility issues.  For a while I was going once a month: I had this Great Idea of trying to read the library, starting with the children's fiction.

In one summer.

Didn't happen. I got past Lloyd Alexander before throwing in the towel. XD

I love love love our library.  We get most of our t.v. and movie watching from there.  All 3 of my kids grew up reading for pleasure.  The programs they offer are great - I only wish we could participate in them more often.  It seems they are always running during my work schedule so I'm unable to attend.

I used to work in the public library when I was in college. On my way there when I heard Kennedy had been shot.

I read mostly non-fiction, and follow my favorite topics online now.

I go to the Library to vote, however.

I go several times a month, I borrow books, music, and DVDs. Recently bought a Kindle, so I'm now using my library to borrow ebooks as well.

My husband goes about once a week, he is an avid reader.  Although he has a kindle he prefers turning the paper pages.  When there is a book I want he gets if for me.   Our library isn't the most comfortable, very pretty but isn't conducive to sitting and reading.

all the time!! Much cheaper then buying books, and some you may buy and read a few pages and hate.

I go to the library once a month to review business and investment journals and grab a few CD's to download on to my phone. I have downloaded a library application to my phone that allows me access to all of the books and I usually read two to four books per month while exercising on my stationary bike. I down loaded an audio book last month that was pretty good. The nice thing is that the books go back automatically when due so that I don't rack up over due/late charges if I don't have time to return the book. I haven't had one go back automatically yet as I read them quickly and return them so that the next person on the waiting list can start reading it. I am not sure why they have waiting lists for downloaded books-it would seem that there would be unlimited copies in a digital format.

I never was a reader, but one of my kids are. I think the Audible program is getting more popular for people that don't enjoy reading, but have interest in the topics.

I don’t physically go to the library very often but they let me download 3 songs per week from their website which I do regularly.
