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.

The internet is now my "library".

Because I am good at what I do and I like it. I just wish I could come back and do it better.

THIS year's was definitely positive due to our new president! But please don't tell my pooch, she is terrified of them!

They're very beautiful, even though I know the noises can be hard on little kids and animals.

I live in the city. Someone very near us was shooting off fireworks. High flying, beautiful but dangerous for the area, thank you. I’m not sure who called the police.
