I just can't reason buying a book, because I'm not an avid enough reader to ever read it twice! Plus, I ditch books half way into them if I'm bored.<br /><br />Still need to figure out how to get library books off my Kindle. My Kindle is a really old model, though, so who knows.....<br /><br />(Sorry I'm bombarding your email account with comments here.

But the whole parking thing is a hassle so I tend to just study at home. Love the library and access to free books.

My library doesn't have as long a wait as yours does, but I also don't always get new books. It's fun to finally read some of the books that have been on my to read list for years! *ps Hurray for no book buying!

I didn't use the library much in college. College libraries are different. They're not as intimate as public libraries or even public school libraries. I'm going to make it one of my 2013 goals to use the library more next year.Renhttp://hersilentmusings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-11773611739446740712012-11-12T11:54:14.704-06:002012-11-12T11:54:14.704-06:00I could not agree more about the library, I LOVE I...I could not agree more about the library, I LOVE IT. I go at least once a week to get books for the kiddos and I don't know how I would teach without it. I also use the library for ebooks as well, I've bought very few books this year... I can't even remember the last time I bought a book really!

I love my library as you know. The author speaker series, the book clubs, the journal groups, the other services they provide. On top of all of that, they are such a great group of ladies and gentlemen, too. I haven't found a ton of ebooks i like (yet) but it's great to know it's an option for me.
