Re: How many times did you go to the library in your school?
I grew up in terrible poverty and was considered a weird kid, so I was a lonely child. Books were my best friends. They never judged me. They didn't care about my worn-out old clothes. And they were free!

When I graduated from college I moved to a suburb that was known for its amazing library. It was about a mile away from my apartment and I was broke. I was able to get a workout and have access to so many books for free. OMG what a rush! Now I live in a different area that has a pretty great library and I am hooked.

In high school I practically lived in the library. In the mornings before classes, during breaks, I'd even skip eating lunch to go sit in the library and read. I spent so much time in there that the librarians actually began allowing me to work there and I was occasionally allowed to skip classes if there was nothing important going on that day. (Movie days, for example, allowed me to spend that time in the library instead)
I think my time in the school library was my best time during my 4 years of HS.

I think if Scott required, as a test, an essay to determine one's qualifications for becoming a member of this site you would certainly get an A for your comment. It is reassuring somehow to know that I am surrounded by people here who are as dedicated to books as I am. When I was in high school, by contrast, I spent (or perhaps I should say wasted) an inordinate amount of time participating in sports. How I wish I could go back and follow your example!Rabidwerewolfie wrote:I was homeschooled until 5th grade, and 5th and 6th grade were spent in a private school that only gave limited access to the library, so I wasn't in there often. After 6th I was homeschooled again until high school.

But i did go down to the public library 2-3 times a week. When i was in school and borrowed books.
But i have not actually been in a library in years. As i no longer borrow books but buy them.

Even now when I watch TV shows with my kids and they show the school library with kids in it, I am jealous for the missed opportunity I had. I sooooooo wanted to the kid who hung out in the school library all the time.
