When's the last time you've been to a library?

[Neoma]

I checked out a book for the first time in years. It's called Censorship in the United States, Edited by Grant S. McClellan.

I recommended it (so far.)

[Book Lover]

1. A week ago

And that reminds me - I have to renew the DVDs!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

2. A few weeks ago.

Usually grab five or so at a time.

[MysticalChicken]

3. Back in like November of '06...

or possibly earlier. I've lost my wallet since then, which had my library card in it, and I haven't gotten a new one yet (either wallet or card). I lost the wallet when I was out with a friend. When I went out, I had it; when I came home, it was gone. Luckily I only had a dollar in there and no credit cards.

4. About 3 hours ago. FREE DVDs, audio books.

Hard to beat.
Oh...they have regular 'books' too.
;-)

7. this morning ...

the librarians are in a legal strike position, and I went by to drop them a support card!


The chief librarian knows me -- I often donate educational DVDs (popular documentaries like An Inconvenient Truth, or Michael Moore's films).

[Deja Q]

8. Years.

I usually buy any book or periodical I like.

[Neoma]

10. I have the same problem.

But, it's a college library and the books I own will still be around after I check out a few books at the library.

[TexasBushwhacker]

9. I go all the time

Saves me from spending $$$ on magazines (and keeps them out of the landfill) and internet at home.

[YDogg]

11. today.

:-)

[femmocrat]

12. Today. But I work in a school.

We don't actually have a community library out here in the sticks.

[eyesroll]

13. Today. I'm in law school.

The last time I went to a library for non-academic reasons was right before school started.

[tanyev]

14. Today. But I work there.

Best job I've ever had. :)

[MorningGlow]

15. Last week, for MG Jr.

I tried to move beyond the picture books to see what they had for me. It took all of a minute and a half--one bookcase of "new" books, mostly mysteries (my own personal opinion of mysteries :puke: --ymmv, of course). Populating the rest of the library (which, it should be noted, is about 800 square feet)...mysteries.

But I'm having a great time buying used books at Amazon. I'm always amused when the shipping costs four times as much as the book, yet I can still score a good novel for about $8 total.

[LynzM]

16. Last week...

I snuck almost an hour in there browsing last Friday when I got to leave work early for a dr.'s appointment, and didn't have to pick up our daughter from school yet...

[unsavedtrash]

17. Today. I work there and my MLIS program is in the same building.

As far as a public library, last month.

[stuntcat]

18. years went by and I didn't go to one

I was moving from town to town a lot and everywhere I moved I worked at a Borders. Most of the places I lived I didn't even know where the libraries were.
But now there's a new one within walking distance and I go there every couple of weeks and check out cd's and dvd's.
I haven't checked out books there yet because usually I like to own my books forever. I order them used from alibris.com or get them from used bookstores.

[Critters2]

19. Yesterday.

I often go to bookstores, see what looks interesting, then get it from the library. I'm cheap. Or frugal, depending on your pov.

[Lethe]

20. couple days ago

libraries are my 2nd favorite place to be, besides fishing somewhere

[MountainLaurel]

21. 2.5 hours ago

But then again, I work there.

[NV Whino]

22. Yesterday

I'm in my library two to three times a week. We have a terrific library in St. Helena, CA. DVDs, too.

[Inchworm]

23. 2001

When I moved back to podunk...

I think I have more books than they do :D

Naw.. but..

:hi:

[sueh]

24. Yesterday. I checked out Al Gores "Assault On Reason"

I actually go quite frquently even though I have a pretty huge personal collection.But, have no more room for more books so have to use the library for new books. Besides, I love the quiet there.

[yellowdogintexas]

25. not sure, I am a very addicted book buyer,collector and reader

I have a problem getting the books BACK to the library which is quite silly actually but true. So I end up paying late fees, or not getting the book finished or whatever.

but I love libraries, love love them.

[DarkTirade]

26. It's been a while.

Everything I've read lately has been a reread from my bookshelf, or a recently purchased book.

Come to think of it... last few times I went to a library, it wasn't even to check out books... :)

[enigmatic]

27. 10 hours ago

Libraries have always been like churches to me, especially pre-internet.

[lligrd]

28. Can't Afford The Fines

I just buy my books.

[MissHoneychurch]

29. Today

I ... uhh ... am a librarian, so I am in a library daily (except weekends) :D

[Bryan]

30. Last weekend, in fact

I was there to watch The IT Crowd on YouTube because they have a high-speed connection and I don't, but it still counts.

[Heidi]

31. It's been many years since I was last in a public library.

We have to pay to check out books at the library across the lake from us, so I just buy books now and then pass them on to someone else when I'm finished. I admit that I do keep my favorites, especially my art books, for myself. :hi:

[MissMillie]

32. Well, the building I work in IS a library

and I had to take out a book for my boss last month.

For myself? It's been too long. I should look into getting a library card. That way I can stop spending money on books.

[BarenakedLady]

33. I love the library

I haven't been in awhile though. Several months anyway.

[riona]

34. Last week

I'm so fortunate - there's one right down the street.

[huskerlaw]

35. Yesterday, 5:00 pm.

And I'll be back in one in 2 hours. ;)

[Thothmes]

36. last time

Probably 15 years ago. However, since then, I have spent a fortune on books.

[skygazer]

37. Yesterday

I went to two libraries. I have current cards at 4 different library sytems numbering somewhere around 20 libraries total. I go on average of once a week.

If I bought all the books I read, I'd need another house to keep them in.

[Left Is Write]

38. Last Friday.

I try to get to the public library at least once a week.
