The title says it all. When I was still at high school, you could always find me in the library.. cause I read newspapers there. Now that my exams are over and I'm no more in high school, I don't go to library.. I do the reading and searching in my house. That's a shame actually lmao.
I know this is quite off-topic but I still want to post it.. :D

My most favorite library

I used to go to our local library a lot as a kid with my mom. Nowdays the only times i visit the library are when i have free classes in school. I just don't have the time or the motivation to go to our local library anymore.
my uni lib is new and really nice. I do history so i practically live there. it is like my second home LMAO literally pull all nighters there to get work done sometimes.
When I was a kid I used to go to the library loads lmfao and I read loads and loads of books, but as I've got older I'm less into reading/going to the library so i'll occasionally go to the school library to do research but other than that I never really go. :P

if i have work to do then i spend all my days off (monday+friday) at library. other than that not much cause it's pretty far away so pointless to go in unless i need to use the computers. i don't like doing work on my own laptop at home cause i get distracted easily :(

Ive not been to a library for a long time. I used to go a lot when I was younger and a little bit during high school though.
Inseriousity.

I use the uni library a lot for work and I do now andagain go to the public library but there's nothing useful there so it's mostly just to relax and read something that isnt academic for a change!

I go to the library every Friday after school because books are too expensive these days :(

When I was younger I used to always go to the library but I hardley ever go there now and the one at my school is pretty rubbish.
I don't go to the public library that often but I go to the college library during every free I have and sometimes lunchtime too.

I never go to the library tbh. I went during my exams to get past paper books and revision guides but that's it to be honest. College has a library so I might start using that and read books, i dunno.
recently been to the public one alot because i was doing my own history investigation for corursework however usually not a lot because i can revise and work fine at home. I go to the school one everyday pretty much to use the computers or work. Never normally to get books haha.

Is it bad I've only been to my University library twice in this whole semester?

Nah, it just means you know so much there wasn't a need.
I used to use my college library a lot, but not for books.. its a pretty good hiding place.

Once every 4 years... had nothing better to do so I wandered inside to have a quick look to see how much it had changed.
School Library I wander in and out of all the time though, because it's warm in there and I can use the computers.

I go two or three times a week to my local one. (I hate our school one) normally just to do revision because its really quiet.

I never go, reading is so boring. I find it so hard to get into a story but if it's like a science book then yeah I'll read it.

I haven't visited my local library since I was about five and I went with my Mum! :P I spent the morning a couple of months ago in the University of Leeds library to research some stuff... but other than that I don't use public libraries. I spend all my frees and the large chunk of my breaktimes in the school library! It's so nice and homely and it's really nice to work in! :).

Not half as much now, but used to go for the 'net (that was when it was good). Now just go every blue moon and see "what's what" there. Am in several Library's so quite like that aspect/idea!
eveyrday and did the helicopter.
On a more serious note, in HK when I was at Uni I went thee times a term just to check out books for each essay and never worked there. Whilst it was very different in the UK when I transferred cause you had 100 times as much readings etc. So I would go at least once or twice as week to find books etc. On the rare ocassion I would actually sit there to do work and readings, cause it was a more quiet environment.
I've not been to the library for a long while now, haha.
If there's a book I want to read I'll usually buy it from WHSmith's, Waterstones or online. :P!

i only used to go to my uni library to get books but when it's close to due-dates, so i'd be in the library for 6 hours daily (plus whatever lectures/seminars i have). would be with people on my course anyway so wasn't that draining but going uni in the morning and leaving at 6/7/8/9pm is longggg. i do work so much more efficiently at the library though opposed to at home - too many distractions.
hate libraries. used to go when i was little and stuff, but i find them suffocating to work in and almost overbearing. i hate the constraints of libraries and the almost, i don't wanna say negative, but like the way they present books and learning. it's so old fashioned and behind.
