Poll of the Day > Do you use your local library?

(+) Yeah! (+)

if you do does the library ever lose your stuff mistakes like that? etc

Rarely. I kinda only go there if I want to catch up on reading my Kindle without the distractions of being at home.

I did when I was a kid but I haven't been in years. I think I might have an overdue book!
---

No. Last time I was in one was last month though as my bro needed to use the computers to fix up and print out his C.V.
---

All the time. I don't pay for cable or Netflix so I take full advantage of something my taxes payed for.
---

Less now than in the past. But I used to be a regular library visitor.
---

I go about 3 times a month.
---

I would go more if it wasnt so oit of the way.
---

I used it just this week for the first time in my adult life. I checked out a book on 3D printing, since the responses in the topic I made on here requesting help on the subject were less than helpful.

I have no idea where it even is.

Not since 2006.

I use to as a child. I love to read. And it was a great place to use the computer. Especially when I had to wait for a pick-up or something. But as an adult, I haven't as much. I did move to a different state, though, so maybe that's why. Also don't have my old library card. I think the city I'm in has 3(Counting the one on base). There is a library around the corner, but I really don't know what I'd us it for, anymore. I'm more into buying books. Especially since I may put them down for long periods of time. And I already have a computer. For printing, I can just do that on base for free in my office. I could probably use the library on base for free, too... Also, I don't know where third one is...

I mean, did you really think it was a good idea...
---

no, they don't have any good books
---

No; not anymore. The last time I've been in one was in 2000.
---

No, I buy all the books I read.
---

Heck yeah. I rent video games from there all the time.

I haven't entered a library in like... 12 years or something.
---

No. I don't like reading novels, and everything else is easily available through online sources.
---

I've used a lot of libraries in the area although not as much my "local" one.
---

I moved over the summer, and I'm farther from a library now than before but I've actually started visiting somewhat regularly. I currently have a physical copy of Waiting Period by Hubert Selby Jr. and a digital copy of To Kill A Mockingbird (I'm still partial to books but I've started checking out shorter titles on my phone so I've got something to read if I have a few minutes in line or something).

for their restroom

I did this for a few years. I'd spend a minimum of $100 a month and filled a room with books. Sure there were plenty of books to cherish an read again; and a few rare copies to make it worthwhile. but its all just paper trophies
---

Library is great. I can sign out video games.
---

Theres many librariers on campus I go to.

The main library. I only go if theres bad private rooms available because theres a few guys who frequently go in there and sit at random womens tables to study but then never stop talking to you the entire time
And I know its not just me
And its the same couple guys

But theyre not overly sexual (one guy made a comment and I said to stop and he never did again, still talks all the time)
So they probably just want female friends or to talk to women in general
Or maybe theyre just wasting time and its something they think is funny

So nobody wants to try and get these guys in trouble just for that
But it makes it hard for me to study or read there

Long winded answer.

@HANGtheDJ_86 and @Flamey, what kind of games do they have? Like are they only older games that have been out for a while?

PS3, PS4, X360, XB1, Wii and Wii U.

There is even a few PS2 titles. They used to have quite a few PS2 games but combination of no one signing them out and being lost.

Games I have signed out: PS3- Lost Dimension, FFXIII trilogy games, Marvel vs Capcom 3, Fairy Fencer F, Puppeteer. PS4- FFXV, Horizon Zero Dawn, The Last Guardian.

Only to use the printer.

I might have to go check out my library. I could literally walk there. They may have some good games. And it would be cheaper to check them out since I kinda need most of my money for bills...

Doesn't hurt. Patrons who come for games are also more likely to sign out books and other items. The games sections also have book recommendations via "Did you like this game? You'll like these books!"
