I didn't go to my school's library very much. I really started reading books later in life.

Quite a lot, and I even put in a little assisting time there.

In elementary school I went a lot but not often for books. I just hung out there. My mom didn't encourage me to check out books. However she did buy me books all the time. I spent way more time at the bookstore then my school library and that amount of time went up the older I got. I would get between one and four or five books a week. Every week. And being young and by time homeschool I had all the time in the world to read them.

I don't have a school at my school, but I go the public library once a week.

I went to the library every single day. I would get a pass and spend my entire study hall class in the library. It was the best part of the day.

The library at my school wasn't well stocked. I preferred going to the public library.

I regularly skipped classes to find a corner in my school library to read, and then after school I went to the public library most days. So, there's no way to count how many times to went to the school library really. Probably as many days as I was in school.

I spent all my free time at the library in school and out of school. I love the library. I especially love the old books that haven't been checked out in years. I like to flip through them and let the musty smell of an old book surround me and they are like treasure chests that holds past treasures. Bookmarks, letters, old grocery lists, or sometimes a long forgotten photograph. Even if they don't hold treasure, the book itself is always a treasure.

Most mornings through my middle and high school years I was in the library. Sometimes it was more than just the mornings, and whenever I had free time.

I used to spend every moment I could in the library. We had a small library but I would go in for study halls and free time between classes that we had. I spent time with my friends as well, I spent about half of my free time in school at the library, I used to sit in between the shelves and read the first couple chapters of different books until I found one or four that caught my attention and they would go out the door with me. I loved the library and honestly I think it is the only resource with in that high school that I miss.

I went to the library whenever I could, in the morning if it was open, and at lunch. After school I always hurried home so I could do my chores then become engrossed in the book I was currently reading.

I almost always found myself in the library during free time. There were also times where I would skip a boring class and hang out in the library to read. The librarians were really friendly and usually covered for me by writing a pass for class so I didn't get in trouble. They would just tell the teacher that they needed my help with something.

I was at the library everyday. Its kind of sad I even did my high school community service by working in the library. I just love books and how they can take you to a whole other world.
