How often do you go to the library specifically to read?

Contributor: spiced spiced
Before I moved here, I spent a lot of time at my local library. It was quiet and beautiful, with a very helpful staff. Here, the library is always noisy with kids running wild; the staff don't do anything about it, making reading there an unattractive option. It's also quite drafty, despite being almost new. In the winter, it's freezing; in the summer, it's stiflingly hot. I do still check out books there, but that's about it.

When we're on vacation, I love taking a reading break for a couple of hours at a local library. It's a great way to stay centered in a strange place and gives another peek into the real life of the place we're visiting.

I only go to the library so I can pick up smart guys!! Just kidding!! I never go to the library. I buy or borrow my books and I read at home!!

I really like reading your guys' responses! I'm not surprised by how many people prefer the internet or e-readers though haha.

1-3 times a year, depending. Lately never. There aren't really any libraries where I live now, and I tend to just buy books. Up until college though I'd spend nearly every day in a library and I wanted to become a Librarian.

At college there are times I've spent an hour just looking for a book or two to go read back at my dorm during down times between assignments and projects.

I don't go to sit and read, but we do go to get books with the kids twice a week.
