I used to use my local library all the time when I was in school. Source I even spent every lunchtime in my school's library. My friends and I were pupil librarians and we practically had the run of the whole library. And then, when I started University, the only library I had time for was the University library. And that wasn't an enjoyable experience. However, last summer I started going to my local library again. (I then had to stop again when I got my job.) And unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed.

DeleteIt's always a shame when a book doesn't impress us as much as we hoped!
ReplyDeleteYes, it definitely is! Sometimes I think we just have to get better at choosing what to read haha!
