Libraries are around for a reason. Mostly to promote reading, but they also serve another purpose, such as making the network accessible, providing assistance for research, reading/song time for children. Also, if you're like me, you read a lot, and you read a lot to your kids. If I had to purchase every book that I've read to my kids in the past 6 months, I'd probably go broke. They enjoy storytime before their naps & before they go to bed at night, so it's a plus for me to have a large variety of books at my disposal. Also, not every book you borrow is going to be a winner. I hate to purchase something that falls short, and then feel bad for wasting my money. Sometimes if I really enjoy a book I've read in the past, I'll go ahead and buy it, just so I have it in my collection.
