Well, in the library I really like to read books of course, because they contain a wide range of books from digital to physical and also other references. In the library I also like to discuss some issues with my friends as quiet.

Not much, because during my childhood there weren't as many libraries as these days, especially in my city where I grew up. But then I developed a habit, so I tried to find other option.
