Library Habits Meme
I was so surprised to see an old blogging buddy of mine drop her entrecard on mine. Hi Tina! I caught up with what she has been doing and saw this fun meme on her blog The Creative Nerd.
1) If you don’t frequent your local library, why not?
I love to go to our library!
2) If you do visit the library, how often do you go?
I used to go a couple times a week. I haven’t been in a year or more.
3) Do you have a favorite section that you always head to first, or do you just randomly peruse the shelves?
I look for books that other bloggers have recommended.
4) How many books are you allowed to check out at one time? Do you take advantage of this?
I think ten books. I probably check out three at a time.
5) How long are you allowed to have the books checked out?
Two weeks.
6) How many times are you allowed to renew your check-outs, if at all?
I am not sure we can renew without letting someone else have a chance to check them out first.
7) What do you love best about your particular library?
It is an old Carnegie library and has a lot of history.
What is one thing you wish your library did differently?
I wish they had more current books.
9) Do you request your books via an online catalog, or through the librarian at your branch?
We don’t have an online option so I rely on the librarian.
10) Have you ever chosen a book on impulse (from the online catalog OR the shelves) and had it turn out to be totally amazing? If so, what book was it, and why did you love it?
Sad to say, I don’t think any books have been that powerful for me.
I have opinions about everything. I do get compensated for some of my opinions. I'd love to hear your opinion on the things I discuss. Please leave me a comment. For more information about my disclosure policy click

There’s no HoT this week but thought I’d drop by anyway. Libraries are great places. I’ve spent hours in them in the past.

I did so love to hang out at my school library when I was in high school. Sadly the public libraries here are old and fusty and I haven’t been to any in ages.

My husband and I are always finding good books at the library. Check out our book reviews on our Zemeks’ Updates blog here: http://karen.pnn.com/6632-what-we-ve-just-read We also each choose our favorite book of the month and post a review of it on our Karen & Gerard Zemek blog either at the end of the month or at the beginning of the month.

I love books, reading books is my favorite past time whenever I am waiting for my kids at school or just really want to let the time passed.

I haven’t been to the library in a long time. They are also a great place to check out videos!

I haven’t been to a library in so long! The one I used to go to as a kid, though, was really neat. It had high cross-beam ceilings and a fireplace.

I wish I had time to go to the library, I love the peacefulness and the oversized chairs ours has. Now that my littles are older maybe I could start again. And not fear the ripped books or chasing. ?
