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.

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.

i tried using it for studying but it was rubbish
i use the one at uni

this. There are 3 libraries close by to me dotted around the place. None of them are really useful for what I'm doing though and it's generally just fiction books (which, while good, isnt helpful for studying!). I use the uni one.
