Do you have a library card?

I have a confession to make: I don't have a library card. In fact, I have not been to a city library, unless you count going to Assembly meetings, since I moved back to Anchorage in 2005.

Are you a library user? Why do you visit the library? Are you checking out books? Music? DVDs? Are you using the computers? Are you taking your children to a story hour?

Or are you like me? If so, why do you think that is?
