Do you use your local library? (3 Viewers)

Everyday. Books are too heavy to keep moving as much as I do.

i prefer buy secondhand books to read and keep stacked up than borrowing library books

why, did I use a 'winky' emoticon there... it sort of makes the whole thing seem sinister or something...

You shudda winked at Shruggsley. Maybe then he'd have let you "join".

 

[Pantone247]

yeah, it makes it read like a priest being moved from parish to parish type of thing

"I use my parents addresss

I was chased out of a lot neighbourhoods for a while there "

I thought you were flirting with me.

Nice way to dash my hopes and dreams against the cliff-face of Thumped.

I use the library a good bit. Great for kids books, and for sitting in quietly during lunchtime thinking about stuff

I use mine all the time, but that's partly cause I live in London and have to pay whopping council tax bills, so am trying to wring every last penny of worth out of the bastards.

When I lived in Dublin I stopped going cause I lost a book I borrowed, I think it might have been accidentally brought to a charity shop. Anyone pick up a copy of How To Play Bass Guitar in a charity shop around Camden St in the mid 90s?!!

books are cheap. keep your local bookseller in business.

True, but library's are FOR THE PEOPLE. When people talk about a lack of facilities in a community blah de blah......y'know.

yep, but not so much during college semesters because i've no fucking time.. i have dublin city council and dun laoghaire-rathdown cards, for maximum fun, and i'm nerdy enough to hit up the college library on my holidays too.

best thing ever is audiobooks, because they're ludicrously expensive to buy. they're heavy on the popular library stuff (romance, crime, mystery) but you're sorted for a while if you like any of that (mystery!).

i tend to find myself impulse-borrowing, like i have to take everything interesting out at once, though. used to do it when i was a kid because i flew through books and my parents would only bring me every two weeks, but now it's just bizarre and setting myself for failure.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

yes, I use my local one occasionally. Should do more.

never rent DVDs or CDs though.

I'm a terrible procrastinator and probably only brought books back to the library on time, like, once when I was a kid. I owed £40 to the local video shop too. Thankfully I'm better at that sort of stuff now!
As a result, I gave up using the library, then I tried to join when I was living in Sligo but couldn't as I didn't have proof of address. I felt like a homeless person.

I took a book out of the UCC library once and discovered it months later - they never (and I never) realised it was gone, despite them having a computerised system (you get letters if your books are late).
I didn't bring it back in case they discovered it had been missing and traced it back to me!!! the SHAME.

 

[sweetoblivion]

Reading it back, that post makes me sound like a total loser - I need to reiterate that while still a procrastinator, I don't do that sort of shit anymore!! Also my job's all about deadlines, ha.

oh yeah, so 8 months overdue, how much do I owe?
