Do you use the Library?

[Mizzkizz7]

No I don't use the library unless I am faxing something

I've never had a late fee and I love that the library has broadened their use to not just books but my library also has movies and the internet.   So yes, I use mine all the time.

I feel that libraries are still very important in our society. Just because the internet has lots of reading material means nothing when the average internet writer has a tenth grade education, and I frankly, get tired of reading internet articles filled with grammatical errors.

It's good to be someplace where it is okay to be quiet and read something that is not about a Kardashian. It is nice to read a book that has actually been through a proper editing process.

It is also still free (at most places) and gives many older people a place to go because not every citizen has access to a computer.

I've read about fifteen books in about six weeks because I had a colonoscopy coming up due to some test results, and it was just too big for me to handle.

However, binge-reading is not the norm for me. I just needed to keep my mind occupied, and on the internet, it is just too easy to end up reading/seeing things you do not want to see at a time when you least need to see them.

Libraries are not a joke. But I do believe they are feeling the pressure to stay relevant in the internet age. I used to be able to check out ten books. Now, I can check out fifty.
 
I hope libraries stay around as well as old book stores where you can kick your feet up and get lost in other worlds.

I almost never do anymore. It hardly seems relevant to me nowadays.
