Do you use the Library?

[countrygirl12]

We have two very nice libraries in my area, and several other serviceable ones within a 30 minute drive in various directions. My wife and daughter love to read and go very often to the libraries (as do I, but I seem to have less time to read as I am more often pecking away at this computer keyboard in my free time).


Our local library is connected to a network of dozens of other libraries in Northeast Ohio and there is another library about 20 minutes away that is in a different Ohio network - so I have access to many more books between the two systems.


I like to request books to be placed on hold for pickup. I usually search the online catalogs for books about earning money from home or cryptocurrency. I then put a printed business card into the books before returning them. The card has a link to my web site which in turn has referral links to the money making sites that I use like Fusion Cash.


I don't know whether I've specifically gotten any referrals this way, but it doesn't cost me any money to do it and it gets my referral links out there to books in libraries I will likely never visit in person. And I try to put them into books where the next person who reads them are more likely to be interested in the money making ideas.

I bought a book at a book sale that was guaranteed ways to make enough money at home to have that be your full time job. But it was a joke. As are most of the sites I hit from google.  Suggestions like sell my stuff are useless.

And most of the make money from home websites are just links to sites like this one. The person with the website makes money if they can get referrals from people clicking their links.  But they usually exaggerate how much money you can make to get the referral.  And survey sites will not pay the bills.  I am desperately looking for ways to make money from home (as in a job where I can work from home) but it most likely isn't going to happen.

I have used the Library to print and fax things, but since I got a All In One Printer, I do not go anymore.

I have not gone in years, but should start going again.

I love going to the  Library. there is nothing like  holding a book, relaxing in a  comfy chair and just read. tune out the TV, sometimes even read my self to sleep when I am very tired. I try to stay off of the computer after 8 o'clock Otherwise it seems to keep me awake  quite often. Don't know if it is why or what ever. But seems to work for me.

Before I purchased a laptop, I was also in the library copying, faxing etc. Now I'd rather go to barnes and noble to sit and read.

Only to vote.

Since I have had a computer, have not needed the library.

no late fee I have auto renewal   I order the books I want on line and they notify me when I can pick them up but today when I went to pick some I stayed and picked out several other ones

[rob110]

No, plenty on the internet to read.

[alarisracing]

Sometimes.

[Yukichan77]

Yes, I still love going to the library. There's something amazing about browsing all the shelves of books in person. I like reading online, too but I love the old fashioned feeling about libraries.

Only once in a while, since you can find most info on the internet now.

I have not been to one in ages and still plan not to unless my nieces needs to rent a book for school.
