But I have encountered long queue for new fiction. So i usually but fiction that I really want to read and leave the not-so-sure ones to the library. Recently I am delighted to discover that as a faculty/staff, I can check out books from campus for up to the whole semester!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-28372654304156882382009-01-05T16:26:00.000-05:002009-01-05T16:26:00.000-05:00I no longer go to our library.

Our library system is horrible. Beautiful new buildings - lousy selection of books. I grew up living at the library and only about ten years ago gave up on my current one. I almost always want to keep the book to reread or refer back to. Although I am approaching 4,000 books now and I may never get them all read. There is also the fact that I love havin books all around me. Books are my only weakness these days.Candy Schultzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09535661393791135479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-54600190181291132802009-01-05T13:06:00.000-05:002009-01-05T13:06:00.000-05:00I'm more of a buyer but as I discover new books fr...I'm more of a buyer but as I discover new books from other book bloggers...and I don't quite want to purchase them I'm going to check them out at the library.Yasminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847562755202742067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-11082745819782359832009-01-05T11:15:00.000-05:002009-01-05T11:15:00.000-05:00I'm definitely a buyer.I'm definitely a buyer.Brooke from The Bluestocking Guidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07832634751075478091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-78594011170129301282009-01-05T10:13:00.000-05:002009-01-05T10:13:00.000-05:00I am definitely a borrower.

While I'm there I browse the New Fiction section.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04746317916269177679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-79720933844604361132009-01-05T09:39:00.000-05:002009-01-05T09:39:00.000-05:00I used to be more of a borrower, but have become m...I used to be more of a borrower, but have become more of a buyer.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-41093334816347350002009-01-05T08:19:00.000-05:002009-01-05T08:19:00.000-05:00I really love to buy books too.
