My daughter borrowed a few "Goosebumps" children's horror books from the library a while back.
she loves them and now owns lots of them that she wouldn't have bought if she didn't check them out at the library first.
The first book I read was "The Hobbit" which I took out from the school library many years ago.
Since then I have bought many editions of "The Hobbit", LOTR and many other Tolkien books.
I never would have been able to afford buying books when I was a kid, our family was not well off.
Now I'm a Husband and parent, we go regularly goto the library now as they offer many other services on top of books (and I still take books out).
Thank god libraries were around then and still are.
