Do you still go to the library? - Xern0n - Dec 26, 2013
I'm a fan of libraries. I can't stand reading large amounts of text (IE, book-sized amount of pages) on a digital device, so books are more my speed. The problem is that I haven't the money to buy many that I see around, so borrowing at the local library is good.
However, I'm curious if y'all pirates prefer torrenting your reading material; are forced to do so due to lack of accessibility; or are like me and go to the local reading rental. So share away.

I do.

I used to be brought to the library as a kid by my Dad. Years passed and life happens and all that fell to the way-side. Now years later. I love nothing more than going to the library either to study. Or spend a few hours with my *****est.
Electronic is brilliant and accessible to so many. But the intensity of reading a hard copy can't be rivaled IMO.
As you can see. I go there partly to learn how to spell

In the Central Library of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, there is always a book sale for Shakespearean novels, (burnt!) CDs, and (outdated!) Certificate books for exams.
I've never borrowed books before due to the fact that I cannot read as fast as people do. I usually just borrow videos to copy on my computer.
I do remember, however, of buying HTML guides, Samba guides (with the software), and programming guides that are ten years old.

I do occasionally. But I honestly have so many thousands of ebooks that I rarely feel the need to look for a new book.

In many aspects torrent sites have taken over libraries. In my opinion there are many benefits to torrent sites. I don't get why torrenting is such a big deal since libraries don't require you to buy material either.
- You don't have to waste gas
- There are no late fees
- You don't have to worry about being first to get a movie

I haven't been for a few years. Used to go all the time.
I still read some hard copy books, but have come to prefer the bookreaders.
As you get older they are a lot easier to hold.

Well, that's the reason why I torrent ebooks. If I had a library nearby I would go there everyday, but sadly, some of us live in countries where libraries are not prevalent.

I love to go to the library too, but recently my local gov. closed and turned it into an information center due to low patronage .
Obviously I protested, but I didn't get enough signatures to convince them the library was worth funding.

I haven't been to a library in years.
With over 5,000 eBooks in my collection and the Internet at my fingertips, I rarely find the need.
