Love My Library for Life

I remember going to the library with my mother when I was young. We would check out 10 "picture books," the limit. She would read them to me or I would look at them and read what I could.

I used the library when I was in high school and college. I checked out books to read for pleasure or as resources for reports or term papers.

Now, as an adult, I check out books or audio books on CD. I will learn how to use Libby and other more modern methods for listening to books.

I have also used the library for meetings: a private room with a friend, a conference room with a few friends for a meeting, and a larger conference room space with kitchen and IT media capability for an Organization's meeting.

"I love my library!"

Poway library through the generations

I have been going to the Poway library for over 30 years. First with my children for borrowing books and story times now with my grandchildren for toddler story time. One grandson asks every day if it’s library day. I’m so lucky to have this library in my neighborhood with the amazing staff and the great way to easily reserve materials. We have become lifetime friends of the library and hope it continues to produce great times for our community.

An excellent resource and a comfortable place to visit

I am a parent and a scientist. I am also an avid reader. Why do I like the library - because I can get books either physically or through Libby that I can't easily find at the commercial retailers. I can request materials from other libraries and get them - very important in the sciences. I can take course and and I can borrow DVDs so i can be both informaed and entertained. Finally it's a comfortable environment that I can spend time in, especially important when one works from home a lot. Finally libraries still support serendipity and surprise…
