Don't you just love going to the library? I have had a love affair with libraries since I was five and got my first card. Nowadays, I can check out ebooks and have them downloaded from the library straight to my computer or PDA, but there's nothing like going to my local branch and getting lost in the shelves, finding new (or old) titles by my favorite authors.
There's only a couple of drawbacks to libraries. I have to wait sometimes to get a book I want to read, especially if it's a new release or a book in a series. I've learned over the years to time my requests for transfers or getting put on hold lists, but still, my need for instant book gratification sometimes is thwarted by another fan of a series or author. Also, I love having a stack of books to read and when I borrow a book from the library, I know it has a finite shelf life for my bedside table. So, my bought books get shuffled back farther down the line as far as reading and my library books get put in my bookbag for reading at lunch.
So, library? Yes, and I'm going by tomorrow to pick up another book to read over the weekend.
