I haven't been to a library since I graduated from university a few years ago. They used to be my favorite places but I don't have the time anymore. It's so much easier to buy books online.

It has been years since I visited library. I am reading books in phone. So, I don't have chance to visit library.

Certainly. I look forward to new surprises from each library, as each library has a unique collection.

It's been a while and I think I still have books I haven't taken back that date back to months. It is how I fell in love with books so me going into the library is like going on a date. I am surrounded by exactly what I am looking for. The silence I don't know why though has become deafening. Hence I also prefer fetching the books and bringing them home.

In today’s age, libraries are not really a thing anymore. For me, I go to bookstores because libraries do not offer the kinds of book I like anymore.

But sometimes, I go there to browse some academic books needed for our research. It’s mostly for academics, not for pleasure anymore.

I like going, but I used to go a lot more than I do these days. It's so easy to get a book on Amazon that you go to the bookstore less, whether you like it or not.

I don't go to a library but I do use the online library which is helpful to get e-books.

To borrow books no . It has been quiet a while and between you and me , in sure there's books I have misplaced in the process. I only go there to study and read books that I came with . Basically has become a place for me to read without being disturbed.

Even now, I love going to the library. Sometimes I pick out a random book to read instead of following ‘trends’ and sometimes to get a gust of popular books to see if they’re worth the hype. Helps save money and space in my tiny apartment.
