inabook86, perfect job! I love the library, but the virtual library help homes and book shelves from becoming a hot mess. I can envision myself as a little old hoarder with rows of books all over the house. Imagine from floor to ceiling. Thank the book angel for electronic readers.inabook86 wrote:I prefer walking into a library and being hit with the smell of old, and new printed pages of books. Yet I do enjoy the compact easily located selection of books in my virtual library....And yet, nothing beats the sight of so many rows of differently aged literatures......Buuutttt..

I also use the online library because I have a habit of randomly reading in the middle of the night so I can just pick my phone up and continue reading my ebooks. This helps because I'm usually reading more than one book at a time.

One, reading e-books tends to give me headaches if I'm reading for to long, but I can read physical books all day every day and be none the worse. Two, I love collecting books, and sometimes I can manage to get free old, damaged library books if they are being taken off the shelves. I'd never turn down a free book!
Plus, there's the whole community aspect of a physical library. You can get and give recommendations just because someone else sees you reading a book they really love. OR a librarian sees the book you've returned and asks whether you've heard of such-and-such similar author, because you might really like their work. I also find browsing to be easier in a physical library. I can just run my hand along the shelf and pull out any book that takes my fancy, you know?
Aslo, like many others have mentioned, you just can't beat the smell of old books
