Reason #1: They have free books!
Reason #2: Did you not see number #1? They have FREE BOOKS!!!!
Reason #3: They are full of interesting bookish patrons like your own bookish self.

Reason #5: There is a vast array of physical and electronic books that you can choose from.
Reason #6: You can find a cozy spot to read that new book you just checked out at the counter.
Reason #7: You can literally get lost in books by navigating through the numerous aisle ways.
Reason #8: It’s a staple in the community/neighborhood that offers lots of free resources and enriching programs from younger kids all the way to older adults.

I agree with all of your points! I went to my library today after work and started reading one of the many film magazines that they purchase every month while sat on a cozy chair amidst students studying. I read a library book on the train home. Sounds counterintuitive but it works.
That’s great! I wish my library carried film magazines. They might have some in their electronic magazine, but I’d have to check. And I pretty much always find myself reading a library book, when I’m not listening to music, when I take public transportation.
I haven’t been to a library in years!! 🙁
When I was a teenager, I used to go every day after school and even during college. But ever since I graduated, I have preferred to buy my own books because I don’t want to return them. lol
I used to love going to my corner every day and reading Harry Potter. Fun times!
Maybe I should go to libraries more often because I currently live in a house with 4 other people and it’s difficult to find peace and quite, which is not conducive to my reading experience.
It is quite peaceful to get some reading done in a library so in your situation it might be a good idea. I love buying new books, but it can get very costly. There are a lot of new books I want to read, but if I feel a bit iffy about the synopsis I’ll pick it up at the library if it’s a pricey hardcover. On top of that I read a lot of series, and I can’t afford to buy each book in each series so the library is such a big help to me. 🙂
