By regularly I mean at least once a month or at least go more than 10 times a year? (As a college student I know how a love of books doesn't always translate into the ability to read them for fun?) What time of the year do you usually go? (typically I go a lot during school breaks)
If you don't go to the library often, is there a particular reason (super small, far away, don't like to)?
What do you usually go for (study, fun, programs)? How many books do you usually check out? What kinds of books?

I generally go to the library every two weeks or so. At least once a month as a minimum.
I go all year round (I've been out of school for many years).
I go to get books to read, because its a LOT cheaper than buying books.
I usually get 2-3 books at a time -- sometimes fiction (mysteries and sci-fi are my favorites) and some non-fiction.
I only go to the library when I'm really feening for a book because I'm broke and can't go and buy it. Otherwise if I feel like reading on that I already own Im pretty good for a while until I want a new one. Just recently I bought JA seven novels and have been reading that for the past 2 months or so but I'm thinking of heading back into my library and choosing one of the older books I haven't read in a while. because I havent read a good amount of them for the second time so im thinking about doing that. I usually just go for whatever book takes my fancy which is for fun. Actually when I read some books it is a mixture of study and fun because im learning the techniques and such of the author.
I use to go to my school library every morning in middle school to hang out with friends, read, do homework, and (of course) check out books. Now-a-days, I don't really go to the library that often (I'm going into 10th grade). I don't have the time to go anymore, but I still read a lot. A lot of the books I like now are new, so the libraries don't have them yet. I just buy them now (which my mom thinks is a waste of money because I will have a 400 page book done in 2 nights... :] ). Also, the books I like to read, the library tends to only have a few copies of it, and they are all checked out and have a mile long hold line. So, I find it easier to buy the books and get more use out of them by lending them to my friends and rereading the ones I really liked! :)
I used to, but we only have one library that even has fiction books and it's old and never gets updated with new material. I used to go until I read every book there I was interested in reading. I'd always go just for pleasure reading. There's a library at my school that I've been in a few times, that has materials for research and what not, but mostly I just used it as a quiet place and never checked out any books from it.
I prefer just buying my books. Normally I just order them used as to keep prices down.
At least a couple of times a month. I need books like I need food to live. If I don't feed my brain, it gets really dull and cranky. I am currently writing two YA books, so I read a lot of YA stuff to make sure I'm not duplicating any ideas. I also have my favorite authors I have to read every month just to stay happy and mentally healthy.
The library system here is very good and I am completely spoiled ;)
