no i use the college one though lol
I use to ages ago but that was rare. I dont anymore though xD
I seriously hate reading
i tried using it for studying but it was rubbish
i use the one at uni
No I have my own books, internet & music. It has nothing for me. If I want a new book, I buy it, borrow it from a friend or wait until i get given it.
I don't see the point in libraries. I suppose for old documents/books, but I have no interest in them. If I want a book I'll get it. I don't want to waste time going to the library, getting it, losing it, paying a fine, finding it then taking it back. Because more often than not, the small costs (bus fare there & back, fine for returning it late ect.) add up and I could've bought the book by the time I;ve read it and given it back.
So that's why i don't use mine. But I can see why people do.
i use the college one cause it's open after college & during holidays
& there's a hot guy that goes on mondays :l
The closest library is about a 15 minute drive so no, i did use to go sometimes when i was younger though and i use the school library if i forget to do some work
I used it once when I needed a book for school which nobody else had
I always go to my local library to do some studying, and I spend most of the exam period there.
When i was younger i used it a lot.
I don't read as much as i used to but if i really need or want a particular book, i wait until i can get it in the school library.
I use mine (Y) (A)
I go to the college libary during study periods but the local one i havent been to in years and its like a 10minute walk lol.
Never been to a public library, but I spend a lot of time in the one at school. It's a nice, quiet, relaxing place just to get on and do some work / read the paper / read a book. I quite like it.
I use it more for the above though, rather than take out books :)
I used the Mitchell library in the centre of Glasgow every day for 3 weeks before the summer for exam revision. It was extremely useful, not because of its resources but as a place to study. I often find it difficult to study at home, especially with some many possible sources of procrastination about the house. So getting a train then walking for 20 minutes forces you to get work done to make the journey worth while.
That said it's not for everyone; most of my mates went at one point or another to try and study and some really took to it where others found it too restricting just sitting in a room for hours on end working. I'd definitely recommend it to those who are serious about learning but find themselves distracted.
Pic of the library, it's a nice building;
yeah sometimes it's really accessible big and quite if you need to get some work done, i use my school one alot aswell which is also really good and they will order books in for you. Some subjects now at A level also have their own mini libraries so i use them too :)!
i haven't been to my local library in yearssss as i never needed to use it. but now i just use the uni library as it's wayyy better anyway.
Use the college library a lot for getting on with work, love it.
i used mines often actually. it was really good. but they closed it down and knocked it down, so now i have to head into my town centre for the library. i don't bother anymore. I used to get lots of books from the library, especially after i left school cos of how bored i was 'til i found work.
