The library has another serious advantage. When you are finished with the book, it goes Home!

I still have Too Many Books (which are all now in boxes, so I know this.) But most of them are books that either I can't get easily, or that I need handy for reference. (Costume books, cookbooks, fiber books...) OK, I also have a lot of plays, many of which I have *not* designed. (Obviously I have all the ones I have...) I do have a sprinkling of light reading, mostly mysteries, and a few books I do reread a lot. But most of my light or fiction reading comes from the library, and goes back there, rather than insisting on using my limited shelf space.

*sigh* of course, I have book lust and wish to own them
and the local library folk look at me like I have two heads when making inquires, makes it hard but they do try. Still have favorite libraries tho :) just wish they let us bring home some of the good books!
