Using the library

How often do you use the library?

What do you do at the library?

do you ever borrow materials?

I go to the library once a week, on Saturdays, because my house is a bit far from the library.

Usually I check the new arrivals at the library, and I borrow the ones that I'm interested in, in addition to my holds. Most of the time I borrow around 3-5 items.

Hi, Waterfall:

Yes, F. I don't know which branch is yours. I think Ag. If you ever you want to know where any materials (new or old) let me know.

Yesterday, I put a display of teen materials on the first floor by the computers.

Thanks for sharing.

I think other teens have problems getting to our location.

I go to the library once a week, because of volunteer work. But before I did, I used to go about once every 1-2 weeks. Generally,i would go to check for new items. I also love music so i'd always checkout about 4-6 cds each time, as well as a book or movie. If i have time, I would probably sit in a corner and probably read, or maybe do some work.

Hey Lisa and Claudia:

thanks for your info. Most times, the new cds go up before I get to put them on the new items rack.

They had stopped putting the new stuff aside for me but i told them I wanted you guys to be able to see what is new.

If you are ever looking for new items, they have little red polka dots on them.

My goal is to have all the teens feel welcome in the library. If there is anything I could do to make that happen, let me know.

I go to library once a week since my mom is too lazy to drive me and I'm too lazy to walk.(I'm a lazy person)

I always check what's on before I go to the library since I like holding the books before anyone could get them, include: manga (Japanese comics), fictions, non-ficitons and everything i can read.

For how much I borrow each time.. It depends. Sometimes I borrow 2 or 3, sometimes I can borrow about 10... It's really irritating when it's due. Since I need to return them all, my bag becomes really heavy and people are staring at me and my mom said that I look like a robber because my bag got all puffy...

Sorry for writing so much this time.

Hey Dun Like Cookies:

We have families who take out the limit, 100 items per card. Don't worry if you have too much. We love customers like you.

Again, my big thing is that I want everyone to feel welcome and that the library is a good place to come.

I know that I have been at the mall with my kids where some stores make them feel unwelcome.

YOu are a valuable consumer and everyone should realize that!

Hey, during the school I rarely come to the library unless I really need to for the reason that I need a ride to come. Also during the school year I rarely borrow items, since I am not sure of when I will have time and a person to drop me of. However during the summer I frequently come to the libraries with my cousins and sisters, (my cousins drives). At the library, we sit and see a few magazines, talk at times, take holds and any other items. The number of items i take depends on each day. Sometimes I don't take any and sometimes i take a lot.
