We used the libraries a lot when we lived in Berkeley, mainly to get kid's books, and we went through a lot of books. (If our daughter really liked a book we would buy it) There were a lot of libraries there! Now, our daughter checks out graphic novels. My husband doesn't like libraries because he always thinks the book he's reading was read by other people while they were sitting on the toilet or something. (I probably shouldn't have said that.
) I used to laugh at him until I was reading a book that had a big booger sticking the pages together. We buy our books now.
