Oh not that often - I only worked there! I was a library aide from 8th-12th grades. I enjoyed doing it plus I earned 1/4 a credit towards graduating.

When I was in uni, I would oftentimes go to the library where I have lost count. I like to just go there even if I don't go there just to read something. Sometimes I would be absent from class just to stay in there. I like that place because it's quiet and there's AC so it's cold.

In middle school the library was my second home. However, in high school as an underclassman I never dared to venture that far. As I've gotten older I now spend about 2 class periods in the library a day.

We didn't have holidays on Saturdays. So perhaps 4 or 5 days a week to return completed books and borrow new ones.

I had lost my count. But I might go more than 15 times.

I lived in the library when I was at school! It was my favorite place to be. I felt the most comfortable there, amongst the books. I was really anxious in school and felt calmer there. I still feel that way about libraries.

When I was in middle school, I went to the library a lot as I loved browsing and the smell and the feel of the books. I also loved chatting with the librarian on the best reads and her book recommendations. I still remember her favorite author was Georgette Heyer, but I haven't read even a single book of hers yet. :oops:

This question takes me back. I can remember spending almost everyday in the library. My teachers started complaining but I wouldn't hear any of it. I was so addicted to the books in my library that I wasn't even concentrating on school work anymore.

Oh this brings back memories. Back then the library was a means of escape for me. My friends would tease me saying I was a book worm, but it never bothered me. I felt at home at the library. The smell, the arrangement of books and the silence made everything nostalgic.
