Answers
- The main library in my county is the Braswell Memorial Library. It is approximately a 15 minute drive from my house. There is a satellite library much closer to me, but I've never visited it.
- Honestly, not much. Most of the books that I checkout are sent directly to my Kindle.
- If I'm just there to browse, I head straight to the new releases.
- You can find the link embedded in my first answer. I only use it to check out books digitally.
- They currently have a book club that meets on the fourth Monday of each month, but I've never been. I'm pretty busy with my online book club on Goodreads, Casual Readers.
- The website could certainly use a facelift.
- Yes, it does have multiple self checkout stations. Typically, I only interact with the staff if I have a specific question.
- I attended a few events at the library when my son was younger. They have great programs for children, especially in the summer. The Summer Reading Kick-off is on June 20th. I probably won't attend the event but might participate in the reading challenge.
- As mentioned earlier, my son was definitely my library buddy when he was younger. Now a teenager, he still reads approximately 30 books per year. These are either checked out out from the school library or purchased. Like his mother, he is a hoarder of books and must own all of the hardback copies of series favorites.
- I adore the ease of the digital checkout system through the e-iNC Library. It is extremely user friendly!
