Occasionally I do. It is a quiet, relaxed place to go when I need some time out of my house. That is, until kids are done with the school day and come teeming in. I prefer owning a hard copy versus checking the book out. I always have it on hand, then. Also, I like to write my thoughts down on the pages while I am reading or cross reference and record page numbers. I can not do that with a library book. Checking out from the library is useful, though, when I know it is something I need for the moment; or it helps me decide whether I should buy a book in the first place. Borrowing movies are also a plus there. My library is fairly nice for the area. It is somewhat new so everything is clean and up to date.
