How often do you use your public library and how do you use it? I am at my Public Library at least once a week either for myself or for Meredith. I don’t buy many books anymore although I love to go to the bookstore. I find it easier to find good books at the bookstore so I lurk around with my notebook, writing down interesting looking
titles and authors then head home to my trusty computer. I log on to my local library’s website and search for the books I’d like to read. I place a hold on the books and the lovely automated library lady calls me when they are ready for pick up. Of course, sometimes this backfires (like this week) and I end up with too many non-renewable, two week only books on my night table.
Has the coffeehouse/bookstore replaced the library? Not for me. There’s nothing quite like the quiet you find in a library.
Did you go to the library as a child? I don’t specifically remember going to the library as a child but I’m sure I did. I do remember the library at my grade school and high school. I know I spent a lot of time in both those places.
Do you have any particular memories of the library? In grade school I was enthralled 
with the Anne of Green Gables series and can remember searching through the old dusty school library to find them. In high school, I found the library was a great place to retreat to and get work done so that I could enjoy my evenings.
Do you like sleek, modern, active libraries or the older, darker, quiet, cozy libraries? I don’t think I have a preference. For me, a library is a library, no matter what it looks like.
And now I leave you with a photo:
