One thing that I really love about my local library is the amount of different sections of books there are to choose from . The librarian is there to help you in any way possible.

I love the librarians at my local library. They make it worthwhile to go in and talk to them and they always have great recommendations.

I have a handful of libraries! My favorite one, though has such a huge selection of books, and I've never left there empty-handed. Plus, they have a cool service where they can transfer books from all over the state. That definitely opens up the options for some good reads!

I adore libraries. I can spend hours in them just looking at all the books. Unfortunately I end up bringing home a ton (literally) of books. The good thing about my library is that I can order the books on-line and then just run in and pick them up. I can also get online Hoopla books through them. :)

I love the shock it causes my guests when they come over :lol2: I always tell my friends I have a LOT of books, but it takes them seeing to believe it. It takes up two rooms of my house and I'm sure it'll continue to grow. I plan on it. :D

I feel the same! They've updated it quite a bit, but this still holds true. The atmosphere is like no other. I remember when I was younger, downstairs was/is the kids area and they always had a pet guinea pig. So I went a few years ago to see, and still do the same. I like when things change, but also stay the same. They have great events for everyone. Gosh, and the outside of the building is so lovely.

I love our Museum library. It's big and old and the smell of so many books in one place is heavenly. Sometimes I do go sit at the library to enjoy the quiet and take in the soothing scent of the numerous volumes of great works, both past and present.

I love the fact that my local library branch has a spacious area for patrons to sit comfortably and enjoy their books. Also, because the selection is deep and diverse, you get to meet a plethora of individuals from so many different walks of life! I do hope that physical libraries are never closed. As a society, we are already so isolated and divided due to technology, politics, and the like. If given a chance, libraries help us to heal some of the fractures in our society. Just my thoughts!

My favorite library is the one that I work at! I just recently got a job in Key West at the local library as a library assistant. It's been really great so far and I'm loving being in the library all day and talking to all the patrons about books.

My favorite library is local to my area. It's pretty small, but they have such a great collection of books. They also do a lot of fun programs and workshops, like movie nights at the library, a bingo night where the prizes are books, book clubs and reading challenges throughout the year where they give away gift cards to coffee shops, bookstores, etc. It's just a fun community!

I love the library! I can rent as many books as I want and its all free!!

My favorite thing about my library is that its actually a network of libraries, so if I cannot find something at my location, I can search it, put it on hold and ask them to bring it to my location (or go pick it up from the other location). I also love their staircase - so random - but its hidden and when I go up it I feel like I am going to a secret location of learning.

I also love that I can give back. When I'm done with a book I purchased and decide I don't want to keep it, I donate it to the library - that way they can rent it out or sell it.

Our library is Incredible!!! With having a toddler and another baby on the way, I don't get a ton of quiet time to read to myself at home. Our local library has multiple kids hours during the week where the kiddos get together for Story Time or Songs and Poetry or Learning Toys, etc. Then Mama gets a chance to sit and catch up on some reading while Baby Girl gets to play and learn and enjoy being read to by somebody else. She and I read together every morning but I can only get excited about Puppy finding his lost bone so many times before I need a break! Thank you K Public Library for thousands of kids books, new books every month and all the Amazing kids programs!
