Home is comfortable. I can read in bed. However, the library has its charm too. When I am in home, I tend to reach for my phone. But if I am in the library I can escape its hands.

I choose library because it is a place just for reading and that't the whole atmosphere in there

I work at a senior citizen centre and we have a lovely library for them. It is anything but quiet in there, as they discuss what books they have read, who will be taking the new books out next and the grannies sharing which Mills and Boons are best, like naughty teenagers. 😉
I would definitely prefer reading at home as our library has too much socializing.

Library is quiet and okay for quick assimilation but its uncomfortable. So will prefer to read at home.

When I go to Barnes and Nobles, I see half a dozen or so people reading books at the tables and at the cafe. I'm a distractible person so I greatly prefer to read where there isn't much to draw my attention away from reading.

The library has a certain kind of quiet that is too quiet. I feel like I'm being watched. I prefer reading at home.
