[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Author here, who also loves libraries. We love it when you read our books, however you can, though of course benefit most directly when you make a purchase. Pre-orders help a lot, so if an author you love is about to release a book, please pre-order and request that your library also do so. Tell your friends, too!

Next, if you read the book from the library and love it, please leave a review on Amazon and great reads or whatever platform you use. Publishers also look at an author's social media when deciding what size advance to give and how many copies to print, so follow the authors you love on Facebook and Twitter, etc.

Lastly, don't forget books whenever you need to buy someone a gift.

I would never begrudge someone for using the library. I do all the time. Just keep reading! And tell your friends to buy books.[/quote]

I buy books that 
-are not available at the library;
-reference books;
-study or workbooks that will be written in;
-travel guide books that I plan to rip pages from;
-books for young children that may be put in their mouths.

Apart from that, libraries are a great way to reduce clutter at home, and one of the things I think of  as  benefit when I get grumpy about my county RE tax increase.
