Seems like library parking lots are always empty these days....

Do you still go to your local library and check out books on a regular basis?
 
Not really, I do have a library card but rarely go these days, I'm not a very quick reader and find that 2-3 weeks isn't enough, I think ours put a limit on how many times you can renew books too. And then there is the charge of when you hand in books late.... I just prefer to buy books.
 
Only time I went to the local library was access the computers there, whenever I lost my own internet (which happened last year) or when my computer broke down (three years ago).

...yes, I don't read books there :P
 
No, I don't 'use' the library. I do, however, donate books to them.
 
Nope. But I may go have a look in the new one in Birmingham

I only use a library when I'm required to do so for a research project. For the most part, the internet meets my needs. :P

How do they require you to use a library? o.O

Many colleges think that the use of the internet or Google for a research project is equivalent to blasphemy. My campus requires you to use their academic database for many classes, and usually the databases are only a list of books you can check out in the library.
