Yes, there is a small library near my home but I go there rarely because I prefer reading at home.
Yes, in my city there are several libraries, near to my neighborhood there is one, but I don't go frequently, whatever, it is in the center of the square of Suba, next to the mayor's office. Here sometimes I look for books that i need for works of my university.
Yes, near where I live there is a library but I don't really go, the times I went I looked for books for some work
Yes, there is a local library in my town. But I just don't go there. It doesn't have the kind of books I usually read.
ok
Of course in my town there is a library but I don't use that. I used to buy a books but nowadays I just borrow them of my friends or to find them in internet sites where I can use my tablet to read them.
Although there are many local libraries available, I rarely visit them, perhaps once every six months.
I don't go to my local library because I read every book in digital format on my laptop, but I think that libraries are really helpful to study because it's calm spaces in which no loud sounds are allowed.
one of the best place I was used frequently is the Library of my uni.
In my city we have new library near where I stay but permanently I prefer to stay and study in home.
