Do you have a system for borrowing out books from the library? Do you know what you're going to borrow before you get there? How often do you borrow out books?
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with the link to your own Musing Mondays post! Thanks.
No I don't have a particular system. My library catalog is online and whenever I need a particular book I just order it. Then I go and pick up my stack of books (and sometimes movies) and they're waiting for me at the desk. I sometimes browse but for the most part, I'm in and out in under 5-10 minutes.
I borrow books WAY too often. I go to pick up and drop off at least once a week which is why I currently own so many books that I haven't read. Actually, I'm pretty positive that I own more unread books than ones I have read!

I'm a library junkie lately. I request online, then when I go to pick up I browse the shelves, too! :-) I see you're reading Alice In Wonderland. I thought it was adorable! So many fun characters! I was only luke-warm with Through The Looking Glass.

Online reserving makes things so easy. I keep thinking we should borrow DVDs from the library, but we haven't done that yet.
ReplyDeleteI know I own more unread than read books... I justify it by thinning out the read ones when I don't like them so much.
ReplyDeleteI own more unread than read books too, and yet I still borrow books from work!
ReplyDeleteI do the same with the library-order the books online and then just go pick them up. At this point I definitely own more unread books than ones I've read. lol.
ReplyDeleteBy the way I left you an award on my blog. Check it out.
ReplyDeleteI wish for a good library here so that I could read books that I want to read but not buying, and save the dough to buy those I want to keep for my personal library. But alas, the libraries in Malaysia are not so good so I resorted to buying. SIGH~
ReplyDeleteLezlie: It was my third time reading Wonderland I think. There was some things I didn't like in Looking Glass but I do enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteBeth F.: I LOVE being able to get movies for free lol. You'd be surprised at what kind of films libraries carry.
Kailana: I'm mostly a hoarder so I can't justify my collection lol.
A Girl in this Vicinity: I have ten unread library books and I just ordered five more lol. Know how you feel!
Dar: So much more convenient! Thank you, I will!
Alice Teh: That really sucks. The libraries where I used to live weren't very good so I'm very glad that my current libraries are so well stocked.
I hardly visit the libraries nowadays... I don't think I'm able to finish reading the books on time and moreover, I love the feeling of getting new books! LOL.
ReplyDeletecool about ordering from the library catalog,
ReplyDeletethat must be such a time saver.

Melody: That's why I love having my library system be online, I can renew! There is nothing like owning the books though so I can relate.
ReplyDeleteNaida: Lol you have no idea!
