I have a local library far from my home but near my work. I go there after work about every 5 months especially when I have some freelancing work to do in a quiet place.
There is one library nearby my home; the last few years I spent quite a lot of time studying my degree due to there is a quiet study room. Nowadays I just go to borrow some books that, previously, I have checked if they are available using the internet search engine through the library web site
Do you have a local library? How often do you go there? What do you do there?
No, there isn't a local library, the nearest library is about 30 minutes by car. I go two or three times a month. I like to go to the library to read books and old newspapers.
hello everyone
Hello
In my city there are several library and once I was sent to the national library of my country, as was necessary for a task. I didn’t go back or go to another bottle.
A local library isn't had near my home.
Yes, there are many big libraries in our city. I would have gone to the library more a few years ago, but now I can't spare time to read books on different topics due to the large number of classes.
I haven't gone to the local library since I was 16.
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.
