Yes, I usually go. I read and write poems.
Do you have a local library? How often do you go there? What do you do there?
Yes, but you can only buy books, you cannot stay there to read.
The library is far from my house, but I go once every three months or so. I enjoy buying books, and I'm also the type of person who reads digitally, so I don't usually go often. Once I'm inside the bookstore or library, I like to visit the different sections and navigate based on the genres.
In my city, there is a local library that I have never visited because, when I was a student, I read and borrowed books at school. Now that I am a student again, my campus has a large library where you can study, read, or borrow books. I really like the atmosphere of the library, where everyone is focused and calm while studying or reading.
