I use my library ALL the time, but it is a good system where I check out books on line and just have to stop and pick them up.

I left an award for you on my post today =D technically last night but whatever haha. <br />Books, I was a phase reader until about 22. I went to a school where the mandatory reading sucked the joy out of everything so I resented reading for quite some time. Sad, I know.
