I usually go to the second-hand bookstore nearby. I haven't been to a library in years!

With ebooks and readers available, I don't go to the bookstores or library. When I was younger, yes I used to but with advancement in technology, everything has changed.

There's unfortunately a lack of libraries where I live, so definitely bookstore for me ! Only time I'm ever in the library is when I'm there to study, really

There isn't any library with many English books in the town I live. So I don't go often.

I go to the library often, especially when I'm feeling lazy. For example, if I have a book to read yet I don't feel like reading, I go to the library so I can get into the reading mood.
Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

I like going to the library! We don't have very many bookstores in my town so it is easier to go to the library or browse online

I never go, because I only read e-books. But before that, I always went to the library

I go to the library with my baby girl every week! She just turned 1 in January. We get 10 new board books to read every week, so we don't get bored with them.
I hardly ever go to the bookstore. We don't usually buy things new. That includes furniture, appliances, clothes, and even books, sadly. We get the books we want used though!

Mainly the library. There use to be a bookstore around my house, but it closed done because it wasn't exactly popular. It's a shame because they actually sold English books (Lol, I live in an area that is the melting point for Chinese immigrants).

I'm definitely one of those people that can't go to a library. Every time I tell someone that knows me that, they kind of freak out and wonder how that's possible with how much of a book lover I am. But that's just the point, I love them so much that I don't care how bad reading the book was, I will keep them all. Building towards that 'Beauty and the Beast' library!

When I was still studying in Jogja, I often went to bookstores. Now that I live on a plantation far from the city, I go even less frequently. I mostly read from digital books or buy from online shops for now.
