  I became an s.f. fan at the library, so no, I don't hate libraries. I need more time to read, though. Also, I tried to get my copy of Ender's Game at a library, but they were all out ;p So I had to buy one. I do like owning books, but it is cheaper to go to the library, soooo ;D Yeah, libraries are awesome. I read so much Asimov and H.G. Wells as a kid from the library.
