Whatever it is, I've obviously never exceeded it. Although I do usually come out with an armful! :D<br /><br />So, self serve huh? I suppose it would work, but I'm kind of like you. I think I'd miss the librarian to talk to and ask questions. Librarians are awesome!<br /><br />Thanks for commenting! :)Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-5356854854503593442013-02-23T02:53:07.016-05:002013-02-23T02:53:07.016-05:00I keep seeing notices about borrowing ebooks at my...I keep seeing notices about borrowing ebooks at my library, but so far they haven't completely implemented it yet. I'm hoping they do soon, I love ebooks. :)Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-31605451005947586462013-02-23T02:36:39.243-05:002013-02-23T02:36:39.243-05:00Yes, they do have that advantage, don't they? ...Yes, they do have that advantage, don't they?

And they are such comforting places to sit, aren't they? :)<br /><br />I like to buy their used books too, to help them out. Plus you can find some great stories for not very much money that way!Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-33574134433397806912013-02-22T22:56:59.032-05:002013-02-22T22:56:59.032-05:00I love the library.

You place holds on things, and when it comes in you find it on the hold shelve yourself, and check it out yourself. They have kinda turned into Netflix. They have also raised the limit to 50 items of any kind. I have never needed that many items, and am amazed when I see people checking out their limit in CDs and DVDs. <br />I did like it when I was a little kid and they had lots of librarians working in there. It's amazing how things have changed over the years, but I don't know if its really for the better.<br /><br />KimberlyAn At Home Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703109969618447107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-49331633758673592092013-02-22T20:59:00.889-05:002013-02-22T20:59:00.889-05:00I get all my DVDs from the library.

The only period in my life when I didn't go to a library once a week was when I was in college -- then I was there probably once a day, if not more. <br /><br />Anyway, now we borrow books, sometimes a movie or CD, and I also love buying used books to support the library. Couldn't do without libraries!!!Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.com
