I do get some at the library, but I don't like to read on a time limit. I'm in one book club that I really like, but it does get a bit on my nerves to have to have a book read by a certain date. Especially if it's in a genre my head isn't in at the time. But the club is fun, so it's worth it.

For my own reading... meh. If I'm really interested in having it 'some day, maybe tomorrow..." and it's cheap, I'd rather pick it up and not have to worry about due dates.

I love to read series, and most of the libraries don't have the early books in the big series anymore. So I don't hold my breath to find them in the library when I'm wanting to jump in.
