I do. But my schedule is back to back. So I live there.

I did when I was in college. But not for homework, I did that in my dorm room. I loved the library because it was so much bigger and better than even the main branch of the public library in any town I had ever been to. I used the university library mostly for exploring my esoteric interests. This was in the "Dark Ages" (pre-Internet) when libraries were really the ultimate source for information, both in terms of extent and diversity.

I spent a lot of time at several local libraries when I was growing up. And, my first job was as one of the pages in the library in a neighboring town. I eventually built up my own collection of books, as I like to reread them. Due to health problems I don't get to the local libraries much any more, but still do occasionally. Now they also have videos and DVDs, so for years now, I have taken out those as well as books. Unfortunately my very old TV is broken. I will eventually replace it after I take care of some other expenses.

I think going to libraries is about my most favorite type of outing.

Oh I forgot. The library is my special place on the campus. I dont have any friends in college. I mean Im friendly and everything but I feel depressed because no one among my previous classmates bothers to call. I usually try o attempt to have a conversation but I get the feeling they are bored with me. :(

I hate libraries and most books.

The university library where I attend is filled with unruly people and much noisier than it should be. I have my own apartment where I can just do puzzles all day when I'm not under obligations.

Which library do you go to? I go to the Brisbane Square library on weekends (no time during the week), but I haven't been for a while as I haven't been getting out of bed early enough. Plus the library won't hurry up and just charge me a lost book fee so I can pay it and borrow books again.

Yes thats the one. :cheers:

Not so much on the weekend .

You can say hello if you wish . :wink:

"bed early" thats another reason I want to work nights that and I don't want to leave my birdies alone in their cage all day, if the world wasn't full of punks I'd let them fly around the house. :cry:

I'll say hello if I see you and recognise you (I have facial recognition difficulties).

The campus library is my second home, it's mostly quiet with free internet.

Absolutely! There is a fantastic public library across the street from campus, with window seats, and lots of light. I love it!
