You know it bro. ;U

Nobody, Rainy XD It just reminded me of the Mary Poppins scene. :3

The local library is so tiny, all the scfi/fantasy fits on one small shelf. It seems like they don't get entires series either -- just a couple from the middle/end of several series. What are your local libraries like?

I don't go to the public libraries in my city actually. xD;;
Unfortunately we owe money from a long time ago... so we don't go. >.<
It's fine though, if I want to check out a book and don't have money to buy it I can just go to my school library.
They have a good selection of books, plenty of fiction. ^^

Eh, I know how that goes. The replacement fee for an audiobook at a library about an hour from where I live is $70 -- O.O! Crazy. We didn't have to pay it because we didn't lose the audiobook, but now we don't check audiobooks out at that library XD

I'm pretty sure most libraries don't really hold a person responsible if a book's been out for a certain amount of years. You'd have to look into it for your local library, but for mine, my friend had a book checked out for something like ten years because she'd lost it, and she was afraid to go back. Then she went back just to check what she owed and they'd completely wiped their records of anyone who hadn't checked out a book in x amount of years.

But then again, my library system makes you renew your card every year, so they're very strict about clearing the system of unused accounts.

I think the books we had out were things I used for a science project... back in like elementary school or 6th grade or something. xD;;

Mal Kapwn 01-15-2011 02:58 PM

My old library was like that, Johnny. It was also much bigger than most other libraries I've been to XD Since it's been so long, why not go back and check, Mew?

- shrugs -
I would like to get a library card but it's not really worth it right now. ^^;
Maybe when we're not so broke, just in case there is still money we owe.

The library system in my city is huge.

There are four "main" libraries (only one is actually called the Main Library, though) - ones that are open every day of the week, have over 10,000 books, etc. - and 17 other, smaller library branches. And they have a system set up so that you can order from one branch building to a building closer to you, and you can get them to buy books they don't have, etc.

My city might be pretty awful in terms of education, crime, and entertainment, but we've got an excellent library system. xD

Sadrain 01-18-2011 04:02 PM

We haven't really had such situation with losing books or anything like that. ^^;

Mal Kapwn 01-18-2011 04:52 PM

Fffff, I want a big library system like that!

My books going missing usually has sibling sneakery involved. /not sure sneakery is a word.

johnny 01-19-2011 01:13 PM

Move to Jacksonville, Florida!

I could use a Library Buddy.

None of my friends really read. ]:

At least, none that I speak to on a regular basis.

Mal Kapwn 01-19-2011 08:07 PM

B'aw that would be awesome! I could (and have) spend hours in a library. The big library that I miss didn't have a book checkout limit and sometimes I would end up with a cart full XD I used to devour books. I live in Kansas, though. Bleh XD

M e w 01-20-2011 06:07 PM

I've been neglecting this thread. >:
Although... I haven't really posted on Tris at all this week. ^^;;

Anyways, just finished a book last night, The Maze Runner. It was quite good, although some things were predictable in the end.
The first book I finished on my Nook, and I plan on buying the sequel to it once I can. :]

Hello. ^.^

I love reading fantasy novels.

I was going to read Lirel by Nix, but can not find my copy.
