So I've basically had this book out of the library for about a year now and I've tried and tried. I've read 100 pages but I just can't push myself any further.
I don't know if it's the writing or the subject but it just doesn't keep my interest.
Maybe I'll try again in the future but other books are calling me...back to the library you go.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2061 KP) rated Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Kyle Keeley isn’t excited about the new library in town until he finds out that Mr. Lemoncello helped design it. It’s got to have plenty of cool stuff if the creator of so many amazing games is behind it. He is thrilled to win an overnight preview, but it turns into a contest the next day when he and the others inside the library learn they are in a contest to figure out puzzles to get out of the library. Can he do it?
I put this book off for too long. The story is fun and I got caught up in the action the further I went into the book. I’m not a puzzle person, but fortunately the characters figure things out for us. (I would be sunk in their position). Plus, I would absolutely love to visit this library. It sounds absolutely amazing.

Roxanne (13 KP) rated Maisy Goes to the Library in Books
Nov 14, 2018
Another cute little Maisy book which my daughter enjoyed. My local library has recently reopened after being closed for over a year for refurbishments so I thought I would celebrate with my daughter with a book about the library. It was cute and all done in the original Maisy style. There were only a couple things to do with the storyline which I wasn't so keen on. The book introduced us to some services that may not be available in your local library, so it might be worth having a read through first before reading it to a child as once you say 'oh, we can't do that at ours', you might have a disappointed kiddie. Also, I would of liked if the book focused more on the 'books' part of the library more than just messing around with friends. In my opinion this meant that this book missed some really good opportunities to make libraries more exciting for children.

Easy to use
Love it
This is probably my second most used app behind goodreads. I love having access to thousands of ebooks at my fingertips. As a constant reader I like being able to access a book no matter where I am. And if the book i need isn't available, they have a hold option, just like at a standard library. Overall a 10/10, no complaints.

Need library card
Most useful app
I absolutely love this app! I don't like that I have limited downloads, but I can download audio books, and stream all the music I want! It's an all in one app, and definitely something everyone should have on his/her phone. In order for it to be free, all you need is a library card. Which for some people could be difficult.
