I re-discovered the library in college, but really starting using it once I moved out here to DC. The first time my husband (then my boyfriend) found out I used the library, he was like "wow, I didn't think anyone used the library anymore!" Well, now he's gotten used to me making him take me to the library every Saturday! S. Krishna’s last blog post..The Ghost Writer – John Harwood

I can’t imagine my life without periodic visits to the library! I’ve gone to the library frequently my whole life. I live in a small town now, but they are part of an 18 library consortium, so I can pretty much get any book I want if I’m willing to wait for it (sometimes there are long hold queues.

I was such a magnet to libraries when I was young. I still remembered that sensation of getting my library card—that felt so privileged and special!

I love reading my own books at the library these days! That said, I’m justified to visit my favorite bookstores almost every other day. Usually I browse more than I read at bookstores, because I don’t feel right reading the entire book at the bookstores. But when I need to find out about new authors and reference materials, I turn to the library.

Wait... Your library charges for using the internet? 8-o The interlibrary loaning thing is great for people who live close to the branches. As a kid, the library I went to was a branch, plus our city library had a bookmobile that stopped at the schools once a month. I LOVED the bookmobile... *sigh of nostalgia* The Kool-Aid Mom’s last blog post..Brisingr by Christopher Paolini

Boy, you can tell the differences in our ages from that post. Videos didn't even exist back in the Dark Ages when I was a child. I used to use the library a lot more than I do now. Kathy’s last blog post..Review: Confessions of a Former Child

Our library is linked with other libraries in our country and also with libraries all over Michigan and I LOVE that! There are few books I haven't been able to locate! Best idea the libraries ever had! Alexia’s last blog post..Booking Through Thursday: Library Week

I'm glad to have rediscovered the library too, although it really just happened in the last 2 months or so. Now I'm stalking the library's webpage to see when they'll release the next month's worth of upcoming books (June) so I can reserve what looks interesting now.

Rediscovering the library is awesome! Even though I haven't gone faithfully since I was a kid, that's mostly due to the fact that our local libraries -- in my town, and the next town over -- are really not comfortable/not appealing to me. I know that if I lived somewhere with a great library system, though, I'd be all about that! Megan’s last blog post..Booking Through Thursday: Library memories
