I do and I love it. You can read a book first to see if you will like it or not before running the risk of spending lots of money on something you won't enjoy.

I don't go to the public library much, since our school library is so well stocked.
I go to a private school that dedicates a lot of money to our library program, so our library has a lot of the more current books.
Plus, it saves me a bunch of money.

My budget simply does not comply with my reading needs. If I didn't go the library, I'd be spending at the minimum $200 a month on books. I practically live at the library!!

I never go to the library, it is like my mortal enemy. It's not that I hate books it's that I hate fines. I can never seem to get my books back on time so I always manage to get some sort of fine. I always forget the books aren't mine or I loose them so I don't go to the library anymore. I just borrow books from freinds because then I won't have to return them in 2 weeks or whatever I keep them until she gets mad and asks for them back or I just finish it and remember the book isn't mine.

I would check out books from the library, if I saw one that interested me. Actually, at the moment, I have Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyers checked out. The local library was just begun and they don't have much space, so they purge their books often, keeping a not to large selection available.

Same here. However, I can check my account on the library's website too. I also made it so that reminders on due books come to my e-mail a few days ahead of time. I don't have a budget to accomodate my book needs either. The entire staff of the public library is familiar with me so they know I usually come to check out several books at a time. xd

I'm a Student Librarian at our school library, so it's my happy place. ^_^ I know where everything is, and I never have to wait long to check out books since I can just go behind the counter and do it myself. That's probably why I don't like going to the public library....I don't know where ANYTHING is!

Good luck with that.

I always borrow books from the public and school library. I also love going to Borders and Barns and Noble.
If only I have my licence....
I'll so drive there every day.

It's funny, when I go to the library I always find myself wanting to get books out that are in the reference section, thats so annoying, because of course you can't borrow from them sad

I usually don't read a book before buying it. I hardly spend over $10 for a book anyways, because 99.7% of my current books are from thrift stores, garage sales, and my Sister's leftover required reading from college. Even if I don't like a book I bought, It's still another read and another space on the bookshelf. I can always trade it with friends for a different book. heart
I don't get books from Libraries anymore. I always get too many books, so many that it's impossible to finish them before the due date. I always lose them and they're overdue for weeks and we owe a couple hundred dollars. whee Since then I figured It'd be much cheaper to buy books than get them from a Library. heart
