How often do you visit your town library?
My town library is very tiny and has extremely limited resources. I don't
use it as much as I would if it were a larger and better equipped facility.

Varies. LAtely
I've been there a few times for work related stuff. Normally
not that often.

Almost never.
I buy paperbacks to read. That way, I can keep them as long as I like
and stuff them into my purse without worrying if I accidentally bend the
covers.

2-3 times
a year. I have such a stack of unread books that to bring more home from
the library would be insane. But I must say our newly renovated library
is gorgeous.

At least twice
a week. I actually regularly visit two libraries, the one in my town and
the slightly larger one in the adjacent community.

I can't remember
the last time I visited the library. I buy most of my books or borrow
them from friends. My mother goes about once a month, though.

very rarely
- I don't have much time for reading, other than stuff I have to read
for my course. And the town library is pants for studying. I go to the
uni libraray loads though.

Not very.
. .I have so many books piled up to read that going to get more books
would be silly.

Almost never.

It
seems to go in fits and starts. Sometimes once a week. Then a month or
so will go by and I haven't been there. When I have time to read, I am
there regularly.

Not
so often now that I owe them $40 in late fees. I used to go all the time
though.

When
I wasn't in graduate school, I visited fairly regularly -- every 1 to
2 weeks. Now all I do is read textbooks and journal articles. Although
I just finished the reading for the semester, so I have a few weeks of
reading for pleasure ahead of me! Yeah!

i
used to live at the library all throughout high school and my first year
of college. it was just a cool place to be to do work or escape from my
house.
my house is just not a place that i can study in. there are just too many
distractions that i can find to do instead my work. also there were people
i didnt want to be bothered with at home so i went to the library.
i think after a while when i was regularly going almost everyday my family
started to jump to conclusions. mainly because of my older brother, he
always has to think someone is doing bad because if it was him he would
be doing bad. so fueled by my brother i would have family members or friends
popping up every now and then to check and see if i was really there.
after about 2 months they gave up and realized i was just at the library.
finally my mom stopped me from going. she was all like you are a girl
and i dont like you hanging out at the library by yourself all the time
and you stay late and stuff. i am scared someone will snatch you and blah
blah blah.
me being the understanding child who doesnt want her mother all worked
up and worried, i gave up my getaway. i settled for my room and my computer.
i dont go to the library much anymore. i do miss it but whatever i need
i can get from my computer. people arent home
much anymore so this serves as a decent getaway.
i tend to leave more than i was able to back then. so i guess i grew out
of needing the library.
maybe i will start going back every now and then. maybe 3 times a month.
i could take my niece. the childrens section was always my favorite because
there were never any kids in there. i guess thats bad but it was a good
thing for me because it was seriously quiet. and it was warm too.
