I like reading at both places, but I can't seem to get comfortable at libraries, because we have to sit straight and read without moving too much. Libraries are good enough to get lost in a story but not good enough to prefer them over my home.

Libraries are weird. I get conscious when people are around and I'm reading. It's uncomfortable. Like super uncomfortable. And that's why I prefer reading at home.

I used to work in a library, and often would go find myself a book and sit and read for a few pages before checking it out at the end of my shift to take it home. So reading in a library is comfortable for me, though I do actually prefer home because that's where my fridge is. hahaha.

At home. I like to read laying on a sofa or when I'm in bed.

It's much more comfortable to read at home than at a library. If you are at home, you can also get yourself a snack and something to eat whilst you read your book.

If i have to choose here, it would be at home.
But i prefer to read in the silent compartments in trains. That is just the ultimate read spot for me.
And luckily i own a card that allows me to travel for free by trains in the netherlands every single weekend day, and at national holidays.

My own opinion is that I prefer reading in the library...
Libraries offer a wide variety of research books..
One may get more knowledge from reading many books...
That's why I prefer the library.

I definitely enjoy reading books at home. The reason is that it is a very convenient place for me, and aslo while reading I like to have snacks and drinks. Unfortunately, in library food is not allowed. But sometimes I and my friends visit different libraries in our country for learning new things and having new experiences.

I prefer reading at home. It is more comfortable and it is my safe space,where I can be lost in my own imagination.I mean the library is good but I jct prefer a much safer environment to express my emotions freely.most of all it is because I like reading during the night time.

I prefer reading at home because of the comfort and relaxation of not doing or going anywhere makes me read with ease

Snacks are a good point! I feel like I'm the odd one out here though- home was never a peaceful place for me and I sought solace in my local public libraries. I could usually find a quiet spot and would spend many hours there.
