My family goes to the library on a regular basis. Now that school is out, my daughter and I go at least once a week.

Lots of folks still enjoy holding an actual book, as I witness by the number of folks at our local branch any time I go in.

Build a home library, buy second hand/used books
Remember the NSA can read your library card files
just like the phone records...
It might not matter now but it might to your kids
later.

I love books.

I guess some Freepers haven’t set foot unto an actual library in years. I like our library and the feel of holding a book instead if using an e-reader is priceless. Besides, i still stand by my joke previously, that bums sleep there during the daytime before they crash the streets at night.

Same here - the two girls aren't big readers but we're working on it. BTW, our library system runs content filters and we wouldn't be going otherwise. I feel sorry for the people in the areas where that's not the case.

There's a library a couple blocks over from where I work. Nearest bookstore is several miles away and I work for an employer that doesn't like personal internet usage (and I don't like using my SmartPhone to view webpages - hurts my eyes too much after a little while). I go there a couple times a week during lunch, rummage through the periodicals, wander the history section of the stacks. It ends up being pretty relaxing and helps me de-stress.

I'm actually looking forward to these "navigators" showing up. Will find out pretty quickly just how much they really know about what they're pushing ... :)
