There are very few libraries in my city these days. When I was a child, I used to go to the library often and borrow books to do our homework.
Yes I have one big library in my country,but it's very far from me . One day I will go there and see it.
There is a local library in my city but l don’t go but last week we learn about the library in the school I will go in the Samer .
Do you have a local library? How often do you go there? What do you do there?
Yes, I live near a library.
It is about 30 minutes from my home.
I live in El Salvador, and the library's name is BINAES.
I go there twice a month, but I wish I could go every day.
When I go, I read science books, and after reading I play video games (yes, there are video games in the library, but you must read for at least 30 - 45 minutes you can play)
There's a local library in my town. The library is comfortable and has mini theater, too. I usually go there twice a week. I do my homework or just read a book there.
Yes, I'm so lucky to have a big local library in my neighborhood. I go there once a week with my kids. We read, do homework, and borrow some books, especially bedtime stories. Since I moved to London, I don’t buy books anymore.
I hardly ever go to the library, but when I do, I sometimes stop by to listen to and read music to relax.
Hello, I am Juan Where I live there´s not a local library but in the university there´s one and I usually go there to study
Unfortunately, No, I don't, but when I was in the middle school, I went to the school's library one or twice, but it wasn't a very good experience, because the books there were very old and a boring.
