Library or owning?

[Matlhodi Nozwayo]

It honestly depends. I wouldn't mind using the library for medical and educational books. But when it comes to other things like fun books, fiction, and just books you read to relax, I would want to buy.

Owning definitely. I like to read my books whenever and wherever I want. But borrowing is a great concept, until I find a really good book that I can't keep on borrowing. Lol.

I prefer to own my books. I love my library of books. I wish I had an extra room in my home to turn into a library! I love to loan out books to my mom and friends. Sometimes, I read books over again years later.

[Arianne Joy Melendres]

I most definitely prefer to own my books; I like to re-read my favorite books annually and having to borrow from the library would make this "ritual" difficult.

[Kayla Archer]

Both! Library for all the novels and suggestions made, and owning for the ones I write in. If I read a library book that I love, when I will try to find my own copy.

What if I own the library what would we call it then?

[sadya]

We'd call it The Christine, it'd be the coolest place in town!

I must physically own the book.

I used to always buy books but with technology and being able to read so many e-books, this is now my preferred method. I have also been decluttering a lot and hate to get rid of books, so e-books helps me keep clutter down too.

I definitely prefer owning books, but when new books come out I'll get them from the library if they are expensive. I wait to buy them used, unless it's by one of my "auto-buy" authors.

The library is a blessing if you’re on a budget. I only buy books if I’ve already read them and really liked them, otherwise I think I’m wasting money on books I’m not sure that I’ll like.

There's something special about reading a book that has been passed from one hand to the next without having any idea who those people are or why they wanted to read the book. I enjoy borrowing a lot for this reason.

In most cases, I usually opt to buy. I like the reduced pressure of not having to finish it within a certain time frame, and then I can give it away to a friend if I don't want to keep it. If I had a memorable experience reading that book, I'll probably want to keep it on my shelf for nostalgic purposes.

I like to own books

[FunkyFlowerLady]

I do like owning books, but I don't have an affinity for paperbacks. I prefer owning digital books.
