Drunk On You

Or a great way to find books with a certain plot or genre without paying for a book that you aren't sure about. Or finding books for whatever reason that you can't find in bookstores.

My dad asked me what compelled me to get a library card. I told him that there were some books on my list of 48 that I was absolutely sure I wouldn't want to buy.

Stay to the Lights

Ah, fair enough.

I went to the library today, got a couple books (wish they had more, like the last time I was there) and paid my fine.
I stared at some UF/Pnr books that were in the YA section...

The upside is that they let you keep the books for 3 weeks and then renew them. Their renewal policy is that you can renew the books up to 5 times! And you can check out up to 30 books at a time.

So they've got 2 on hold for me and I might get a couple more.

Drunk On You

I think mine is you can renew up to 3 times as long as there aren't any holds on the book.

fly me to the moon

^ Mine are like almost same as your..

Ha ha so I've checked out 5 books from the library, they've got another on order for me which I'll pick up either tomorrow or Saturday depending.

And then I got 2 of the books off my list yesterday from my mom's work.

All ready gonna finish 1 out of the 6 library books today and then I'll start another which is an easy day read. Same could be said for the other one that I will be getting- at least a day or two read.

The others are gonna take longer as they are between 430 and 670 pages long.

Looks like your making use of your card

Ron_Beckett

That I am. I can't get enough!

Of course the books I'm getting are the ones on my list I don't plan to buy but still.

And then even after I'm done with my list of 48 I plan to go back to the library because they have other books that had me interested.

It's a small library but it's got plenty of reading material!

Ha ha who would have guessed that hell would freeze over and I would get a card. Or maybe hell hasn't frozen over. Maybe the heavens have just flamed on (as I live in the desert so the reverse of hell freezing over seems appropriate for what I'm trying to get at )

Getting a library card is not the end of the world.

I like to borrow books I want to read yet don't want to buy them.

Ron_Beckett

Yeah that's the good thing. Saving money on basically free return books.

Stay to the Lights

That's a bonus too

Stay to the Lights

That's a bonus too

Ron_Beckett

Yeah.

Went back to the library again yesterday since they had ordered me another one.

I'm checking out all the YA books since I'm not a big fan of YA.

Ron_Beckett

So anyone been using their library lately or added anything to their personal library?

~*~*~

I have a 'me' day for once. RL has taken a toll so I haven't had time for 'me'.

My plan today includes going to the bookstore to look at books that might interest me, type them out on my phone, and then go to the library to see if I can find them!

I swear now that I have my library card I've discovered a whole new world!

And 3 weeks is too long to keep the books so I just always return them when I'm done. LOL!
