    I just got through looking at your book recommendations and wondering how many of you check them out at the library?

      For the first time in years I checked a couple books out from the library last week.

      The library is in the same building as the YMCA which I joined last week. Since I was there I figured I would try both.

        I check out electronic books from the library, particularly when I'm traveling, and stick them on the Kindle. I haven't borrowed a paper book in ages, but I joined our local library after moving house and I might take a bit of a look

        I was only joking

          Sometimes I borrow an electronic copy.

          I buy some physical books after the first run is over and they hit the discount bin.

            I get an allergic reaction to certain fragrances, swollen tongue, hives and so on.

            I just remembered why I avoided library books. This Vonnegut book is covered with that fragrence.

              Ironically, pretty much none of the reccos I make here come from the library, but we use ours all the time.

              Please love yourself.

                Same here, until I found Book Bub, which is even more convenient.

                  Pretty much all I read is from the library. Almost all e-book, as I can access over the internet.

                    We go to the library once a month with the kids, they check out about 20 books. My wife also uses the library to get e-books.
