Education & Reference Do you still visit your local library?

[BotsMaster]

If you're a uni student or a high school student I'd think you still would, but for those that aren't do you visit your library or are you more likely to purchase/pirate the book you're after from another source?

I use our local library a lot. Sometimes buy books if I like them from op shops and Kmart . And I am not a student

I don't even know if Cranbourne has a library.

Bahaha not because of that.
Apparently I took a book out when I was a kid and never returned it..? Anyway the fine is over $1000 now so they can all get ****ed. I'd love to rejoin because I'm a a big reader but I'm not paying that.

I have so many books from primary school library.

It was a public school, and they must not have a system of checking who checks what out, because essentially I just got really lazy in returning them, and now they're all at home LOL

MEB_ I'm sure there are books on hammerhead sharks you may be interested in at your library

I get all my information from the GD board so I consider myself well enough educated on hammerhead sharks

Used to use the high school library to study every lunch time throughout VCE. Also used to use the university library too. Never used a community library for anything.

I also used to use Borders as my own library. Used to go in, grab a book, sit in the comfy chair and read for hours.

It used to have an amazing library, we'd drive over from a town about 45 minutes away to use it. I think they've had to scale it way, way back from what I've been told though.

 

[CatMarie]

I do use our local library a lot. Get 3 or 4 books out at a time

That's an awesome setup!

That's an awesome setup!

You just have to keep an eye on the clock. Been a few times lessons have finished and the kids are thinking " Where the hell is Dad ?".

 

[moses]

Ours has a pretty good selection of DVDs and Blu Rays - so we use it fairly regularly. Lots of good docos.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Yep, quite often. It's great for my boy. They have little reading sessions, games etc. I get him books from there most weeks. Rec Centre is next door and they have a little gym/ball game set-up where he plays with other kids, watches hockey through the glass etc.

 

[Roobs321]

For a long period I didn't, but in recent years I really got back into them. ACT Libraries in particular are awesome, great catalogue and excellent online booking system.

 

[Neese]

Yes. I work there

I'm a Uni student and I don't. We have enough resources at our Uni library for assignments and I prefer to buy (or download in the case of the Jane Austen novels I'm reading for Uni at the moment) any books that I'm reading.

Do you like Jane Austen books? I know heaps of people do, but have also read some do not . Just wondering, as you have to read them for uni. Would you read them for pleasure?

I don't even know where the library is in my current LGA.

Do you visit yours TM?

I should, but haven't for a few years. Used to buy books they were getting rid of at my local library for 50c or $1, was so good.

No I don't as I have no clue where it is

I used to love going to the library and borrowing heaps of books at a time while only reading a couple.
