How often do you frequent your local library? I try to go every Saturday, and in addition to all the stuff I get from there, I work the inter-library loans to death.

Never. I don't like time restraints on my reading.

Rarely. I usually do not find what I am looking for at my local library and I cannot put up with the noise that is allowed today. Whatever happened to "Silence in the library?"
I have an e-reader for books but will read regular books if the font is big enough. But they are usually ones I may purchase or borrow.

Totally, today some guy was plugged into one of the computers and I don't know what he was doing but he kept spouting off random words at full volume, and nothing. But I go in with 2 of my neighbor kids, and we whisper, but we read aloud, and WE'RE the ones complained about for being disruptive.

I go to my school's library on a semi-regular basis. I go to the city library maybe once every other year.

Ours lacks a lot of things, and books are largely a done deal because if they're older than 15 years any donations won't get put on the shelves, and they stopped taking VHS but they do I think still take DVDs and I'm considering getting a few things here and there that they could add to their collection. They have about half of the original Wizard of Oz books, most of them very old copies, and for them supposing to have 2 copies of Alice Through the Looking Glass, neither is anywhere to be found. And it would be nice to see Thelma & Louise or The Towering Inferno or First Blood available SOMEWHERE in this town to rent.

A lot. I've been a bookworm since an early age. I used to like just chilling in the library until it recently became the hangout spot for every unemployed person. Now I get in, get my shit and get out. And this is in the county....it's worse in the city because then we have to factor in the homeless people who hang out all day and sometimes assault women in the bathroom

Not as often as I should. My local library isn't that close to me (well there are a few close-by branches, but they are so small and too inhabited by school kids that I don't really wanna bother). The large library is downtown and is about a 25 min drive away from me so I really don't go there too often.

Re: How often do you go to the library?
Whenever there is a book I want to read or I need to print out something, since I don't have a printer. Maybe once a month.

It varies from year to year. Some years I go a lot, and some years I may not go at all. I don't think I"ve been to the library this year.

I go quite a bit. Much more in the winter.
