With the advancement of high technology and the emergence of modern concepts such as digital library, avant-garde libraries bring you totally fresh and new reading experiences and establish new ideas of library. The book contains 39 library projects located all over the world, contributing professional references for architects and interior designers"--Dust jacket.

Between Libby and library visits, most new books are borrowed. If I am buying, I'll usually start online at places like ebay or thriftybooks to see if they have a discounted copy before hitting the full price book store. There are books I want for my "permanent" collection, so those i do buy new.

Crazeedi I mostly borrow, then buy used. Occasionally a new one. But I really need to stop, because I have tons on my shelves I haven't read!! Lol 1y
RamsFan1963 @Crazeedi I know what you mean. I could go years with the books I already have on my shelves, which definitely tempers how often I buy another book. 1y

Absolutely!!! 💜💜💜

Chrissyreadit , in the childrens section I used to find religious pamphlets and prayers in the “offensive” books- typically science, dinosaurs, evolution etc. After a while I automatically just looked and removed them while my kids explored. 3y

I‘m stoked that my library is opening for browsing again next month, but this? This is too much! We‘re having monthly book sales, y‘all!

(This is awesome, except I‘m supposed to be budgeting and reading and I HAVE NO ROOM FOR MORE BOOKS!)

I think today may be a washout. Lucky (?) me? 😬😆😉🤷🏻‍♀️

Amiable Maybe you won‘t find anything you want to buy! (… she said while attempting to keep a straight face …) 4y
DivineDiana Of course, I feel your “pain”! I must say the pandemic did help me curb my library purchases. And my library is having its first sale by appointment only at the end of the month. 🤦🏽‍♀️ (edited) 4y
AmyG The one thing I miss the most about my life in NJ....Upper Saddle River monthly book sales. THAT was what got me into book “collecting ”. Have fun!!!!!! 4y
rubyslippersreads What a dilemma! 4y

1. Right now I‘m exclusively using my library for ebooks and audiobooks through Libby. Growing up I used the library for music and movies too!
2. Yes I love recommendations from librarians. And if I can‘t find something I‘m very willing to ask.

I‘m very grateful for libraries.

Behold the power of the school library! My son‘s international school was able to buy a book sanitizer, & there only a few cases in our part of Korea, so he now he can finally check out English language books from school! You would think the old Scooby Doo paperbacks he chose were gold! #library #lovesbooks
