6 reasons reading a library book is better than reading one of your own

1. There is so much more choice.
   They spend more on books in one year than your house or flat is worth (maybe).
   
2. You will actually read the books, rather than watching them sit on your shelfBorrowing library books comes with a deadline. If you haven't finished a book in three weeks, you're probably never going to read it, so why spend money on something which will sit on your shelf gathering dust?
   
3. You can finally get some space in your house or flat again
   How much space do your books take up? Not just the bookshelf but the pile of books next to your bedside, the dining table, and those waiting to be tidied away or go to the charity shop. I got rid of my bookcase and my lounge looked so much bigger! It was amazing, I was able to rearrange the furniture and I was able to enjoy all the space.
   
4. You'll read books you wouldn't otherwise
   Who wants to spend money on a book they might not like? We play it safe when we're buying books for ourself, yet when you wander around a library any book can jump out at you, and the range is so vast. I read a library book about the police, a science lab and classical music. I'd never have imagined reading that before.
   
5. You can share the experience with more people
   Like a book? You can still share good books with your friends. Just go to the library with them, or tell them to take it out too. And if they're not very good at returning books, it's not your problem, you've got nothing to fear by recommending they borrow the library's book.
   
6. It's better for the environment
   Reduce, re-use, recycle. You're reducing the number of trees which need to be cut down and made into books, the books are regularly being re-used as others take them out of the library.
