I have taken the plunge and applied for a library card! Now I just have to go pick it up and check out a book.

The more you use the library the more funding it receives and the more books and sevices it can provide to you and people who really need to use it. Just in case you need another reason or two to visit :)

I love my library but like someone else said, I own a wee bit too many to being going to the library. However, I did breakdown and check 3 out.
I re-borrow them online and wait until the day they are due to do it. I can do that 3 times after I originally checked them out, and each time is 21 days. The only time this doesn't work is when someone places a hold. Cheeky library patrons:)

GREAT job on your challenges. I guess the good thing about the lack of progress on the "books to read before I die" list is that you can't die any time soon. :)

I have been a library user only for many many years. I bought about two books last year (in January), until Christmas when I bought OTHER PEOPLE books. I was so put out with that that I've decided to buy myself some books this year.

It was not by choice last year so much as a forced move due to my budged. I'd be lost with out my library!

That said, I reorganized my bookshelves so I can see what books I haven't read that i own. It's scary....

Holy Cannoli ... that is a lot of challenges! I can't wait to see your post for writing as one of the characters in a book ... I'm giddy with anticipation!

Everyone - My library is pretty small and when I was a kid, there were small minded women "in control" of the books. I was denied access to Shakespeare and the Babysitter's Club on two different occasions because the librarian felt they were "too adult" for me. My grandmother gave her a what for, but it ruined my love of the library...Just to explain my absence. But it is a bit pitiful that I still hold a grudge. :)

I don't get along with my library AT ALL, but I did stop by over the weekend and I walked out with 3 books. 2 of which I promptly read. I might have to stop by more often. :-D

I am all about the library, especially with audio books. And I have enough printed books sitting around that I wouldn't need to buy another book for three years. Not that that stops me, but there you go. Nice work on the challenges so far! I'm making pretty good headway with some, and haven't touched others. I keep thinking that with maybe Vietnam and Graphic Novels, I will just dedicate a month to knocking those out!

Wow that's a lot of challenges but you're doing great!

You should give the library another try. I love mine and it doesn't cost anything. Maybe it will be different this time.

I actually really love my library but I've been trying to use it less because I own so many unread books.
