Yes, I have a local library. It's a famous library which has many books and newspapers. The library opens at 6.00 am and closes at 19.00 pm. It's a peaceful place to read books and look for information. Besides, this is a wonderful place to relax after a long working day. I often go to the library on mondays, wednesdays and sundays to read book and borrow some books. I usually come here with my friends and we listen to music and read books together. Because there's the only one library in my town, so it's very crowded espectually on sundays when everyone is off. The library is a place where is wonderful, everyone should come here at least one time in life.

Discussion
Do you have a local library? How often do you go there? What do you do there?
yes, we have a local library, sometimes I go there, when I went there do I read the medical books, and business books, and rarely do I read motivational books
yes, I have a local library opposite the petrol station. I go there twice a week.
I read books there and I borrow two books there
Of course, there some libraries in my city. Unfortunately, I don’t visit them. Nowadays, all information that we need we can find in the Internet. That’s why there’s no necessity to go to the library. Also, If I want to read a book, not electronical book, but traditional book – I buy it in the Internet shop. That’s why I don’t need to go to the library. Actually, it’s not very good.
