@Mansoor I teach classes that sometimes take place in libraries (I teach new sped teachers). The librarians are always very helpful and don’t even mind when I lagged behind to read the kiddie books 🙂
@Mansoor … I take like 10 books at a time, no need to be more “regular”. Im a borderline agoraphobic… perhaps not the best person to be joking about leaving the house to 😛
Mansoor Jahangir Nice to meet u, too. Hope I didnt come across too salty with my reply. Went a couple years without a public Library in me life because my illness got the better of me, and so feel rather excited its only been 2 weeks since Id been. Felt a bit deflated in my excitement for a moment, lol.
@Mansoor it is and the best thing in our main library is that you can find there so many different book in different languages. Of course the main languages of the world like english, spanish, german, french, italian, portuguese, russian but also many others. Also our own languages which are in here official languages. Maybe because in my hometown we have peoples around the world who lives in here.
@Mansoor Yes. I wish I could get there more often physically but the hours are tough and I was finding myself holding onto books too long and incurring fines. Now I take out my books electronically from the library via Overdrive. So I’m still making great use of my library card. 🙂
It’s a great place, I volunteer there when I can. And they save unsold books for my wife, who keeps a young adult library at the drop-in center where she works.
I’m lucky enough to live in two countries (Australia and the United States) and travel the world. Prior to switching almost exclusively to digital books I hadn’t used a library in years and I spent a truly shocking amount of money on books. I just wasn’t in one country long enough to go in person check out read and return. Now I use Sydney, And Tulsa Library systems continuously and although I rarely walk into one I’m utilizing my libraries daily.
I’m in the USA now in Tulsa, off to Dallas Friday, Sydney Sunday, won’t be back to either USA house for 3 full months. This is my life. It’s just not a relaxed laid back life but I still need to read every single day to stay sane. I LOVE digital books!
I’ve donated and gifted most of my once massive libraries of paper books at this point. The little girl who always needs the reassurance and comfort of lots of books who lives inside me was a bit freaked out but it’s the story I need to escape into not the paper pages!
I honestly don’t know how long it’s been… I only go to the one downtown cuz theyre the only one with an area just for kids to be kids and we haven’t been down that way for quite awhile….
2 years ago the last winner 2016 the last winner sanity I visited Washington DC first place I went to was the Congressional Library my biggest thrill was getting a library card that allowed me to check books out of the Library of Congress. I felt so honored holding on to that card it is treasured I didn’t get to check out a book cuz I was leaving town but I was allowed to enter to the bookcases I look down into where they check out the books I sat there and read 4 hours from one precious book to another and I cried when I left because it was not enough. When I entered the Thomas Jefferson Library room I was so overwhelmed with emotion I almost fainted Thomas Jefferson I hear all mine since I was a child. I treasure those memories
Thursday, and stopping by later today to get Barbara Kingsolver’s new book! Just got an email it’s come in and is being held for me. Hawaii is the only state with a state wide library network!
@Mansoor just no need to travel. The online selection is better than my local library’s physical collection and then I don’t have to keep up with a physical book. I did a lot of driving this last weekend and wanted an audio book—was so easy to download to my phone and plug in and go as I was setting off on my journey!
If you count online, I go weekly since I normally read on my kindle. Only go into the library when I have to renew my card since ours doesn’t do that online yet.

Prior to switching almost exclusively to digital books I hadn’t used a library in years and I spent a truly shocking amount of money on books. I just wasn’t in one country long enough to go in person check out read and return. Now I use Sydney, And Tulsa Library systems continuously and although I rarely walk into one I’m utilizing my libraries daily.
@Lora iam not just impressed, iam overwhelmed.. (y)
I’m in the USA now in Tulsa, off to Dallas Friday, Sydney Sunday, won’t be back to either USA house for 3 full months. This is my life. It’s just not a relaxed laid back life but I still need to read every single day to stay sane. I LOVE digital books!

I have been checking out audio books and e-reads from the library without leaving my house!
@Cynthia really but how come without leaving home
@Mansoor just no need to travel. The online selection is better than my local library’s physical collection and then I don’t have to keep up with a physical book.
I did a lot of driving this last weekend and wanted an audio book—was so easy to download to my phone and plug in and go as I was setting off on my journey!
@Cynthia yes u r right but that special feeling of library and among countless books is just out of this world
