In my school there is a library, sometimes I go when I have time. I like to read the Harry Potter sagas. We also have books in English and I like to see how much I can understand or at what level I am in reading comprehension.
There is one big library near my home but i don't go there because my little home is so quite. I enjoy that work and study in my home.
It is even possible that there isn't any voice except for my own voice for few days!
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.
