Online. I borrow books from the LA Public library to read on my Kindle app.

I go frequently now because I'm not working. Enjoy going there to study [taking a personal development course] as it helps me focus. Not the distractions of tv, radio, food, house chores....

During COVID our local library was and still is a sanity saver! I was juggling several books and enjoying every minute of it!

I have loved them since childhood and will continue to support them, besides I can't see paying the price of books these days

I am a very avid reader, but I have limited income. I also do not wamt to buy a book unless I am sure I will like it. I own my favorite and borrow the rest, as I am able. Used books stores, e-books, are great, but I prefer a library. And no need for a charger with a real book, either!

I've been a book worm all of my life. For a while, I've been getting my library books via Books-By Mail. The library mails the books that you request to you and included in the pack is a return envelop to send the book/books back in. It's SO CONVIENT! Especially during the Pandemic!

I love the amazing authors who write for us readers. I find great comfort in libraries, and can stay in one for hours.

I love libraries, used to go to them all the time, but now there is not one convenient to where I live. I get all of my books thru Amazon, or used book stores.

All a library can do for most folks these days is provide a quiet place to think and read their smart phone..

Too often it is a meeting place for the homeless. I don't begrudge them the comfort. I just don't want to be around them.

Books we buy. Living in a tiny rural village there is a very tiny library here. We do attend events, pandemics permitting, at larger area libraries -- and the contact with people in such lovely settings is precious.

I really have trouble with background noise. Including music. If I try to play music, it doesn't take long for me to get agitated and turn it off.

As a retired teacher, I spent most of my work life getting things done with plenty of noisy activity all around. You have to focus!
