Who Uses the Library?

Postby Steeven » Wed Jul 07, 2010 1:51 pm

I used to go to the library all the time to get graphic novels to read, but I stopped going.

Then, one day, I went into a local book store to look for a specific book. When I found that they didn't have it, I thought of the library and they had it.

I love the library.

If you are a reader and don't utilize your local library, you should. It's a wonderful place :)

And remember . . . if Fonzie can get a library card, then anyone can get a library card!

I use it often for trades. The Austin library system is pretty extensive and they've been able to get a hold of everything I've asked for.

We have an online catalog if I want something specific. Also, our library has a little red sticker that says 'Graphic Novel" and sometimes, I'll just play Graphic novel bingo and check something out that's just on the shelf and has the sticker.

"I got it at the library."

"What is is?"

Along with DVDs and books, I've been using the Library to get reaquainted with the old Marvel G.I. Joe comics.

I've read G.I. Joe Classics Volume 1. I'm in the middle of Volume 2. And I have Volume 3 waiting for me at the Library right now.

I love my Library.

To answer the question at hand.

Yes I use the library, pretty much exclusively. As I have mentioned elsewhere, borrowing < buying!!

I had to use two libraries when working on a final essay project for my English class this past semester.

I like the library but lately I prefer to buy and build my own library at home. I think I have a hard time with "borrowing" now and prefer to "own" it and have access to it anytime.

I love the Library and I keep it in business with all those fees I pay :lol:

We got a great system here in Minnesota, being able to order what the local library might not have. I am always amazed at the size and scope of our Library but with the Mayo Clinic two blocks away, I am sure its well supported.

I love our library. Naperville's library system is regularly ranked number one in the U.S. so we're very fortunate.

I am a big fan of the library- I get both trades and regular books on a regular basis and it keeps some money in my pocket.

I'm tending to get pretty angry when I find that my library doesn't have a book I want to read . . . I get angry because that means I have to go out out buy it.

I'm not cheap . . . I'm just broke. :)

have you tried interlibrary loan? When my liberry doesn't have book, I just move on to the next book. There's plenty to read. I'm not picky.

Also if you ask, they may order it. You never know how many others may have asked for it.
