Do You Still Go To The Library?
With all of the eBooks, buying online, etc libraries aren't in use as much now. Do you visit yours? We used to & I always did love coming home with various books, some which I never got around to reading. Later, we'd take out the odd videotape or DVD/CD. Now, I just look on Amazon Kindle books. I'll probably never go back to the library which is sad but that's just me now. It was a wonderful memory especially when I was younger.

We are just comming to the end of 14 years living in Eastern Europe, nice in many ways, but I desperately missed having a library to visit on a Saturday morning.
I will always go there. You can't read papers on the internet for free any more (Except the Daily Mail which is a dubious paper anyway) and the cost of books and magazines is now outside my budget, so the library is the only answer for me.

Re: Do You Still Go To The Library?
I use the library regularly - to order a book for 55p and then have it on loan for three weeks is good value!. I have a kindle and use it to knit and read without having to weight pages down on a book to keep them from flipping over.My local library has a knitting club, children's and toddler activities and a special summer holiday project - this year's is 'Myth and Magic'. They often have computer awareness courses at various levels, so I think joining a library is well worth while and more use is being made of their facilities in order to draw in adults and children.
