I love to go to coffee houses but I don't like coffee.

After reading some of your responses to others, it seems that our reasons are similar. I enjoy the atmosphere and lightly chatting with other people. And just as libraries offer things other than books, coffee houses serve things other than coffee.

Although the way I mostly spend my time at coffee houses is.....reading books! 😄

My local library used to have a nice magazine room. People could sit there and read the latest issues of magazines and newspapers and so on, and on rainy days when I felt a bit sad I would go there and read. Unfortunately, they've done away with that room.

@4meAndyou I remember when I could go to a library and listen to their vinyl records or watch videos, using headphones. Those services have disappeared as well.

@DrWatson They still HAVE magazines, though there are far fewer than in the past. But now instead of the 4 walls of a cozy ready room covered in choices, there is ONE wall, with study desks and VERY hard chairs taking up the rest of the room.

I love libraries, and while I definitely enjoy reading, I've not found something I like in quite a while! So I do go there but don't always read lol. I like checking their new DVDs and magazines too.

@Coralmist Travel magazines are my choices there too

I spent my entire childhood doing just that

The librarians hated me
(I lived directly next door to the local library....so, by default, I spent a lot of time there).

@Ferric67 Why did they hate you? You were a troublemaker there?

@Heretochat yeah, I was full of shenanigans
Usually, I brought my friends and my purpose was to be entertained....not educated
Probably, the pinnacle chaotic moment might have been when I propped my dads ladder and had my friends climb on to the roof. One of the librarians came out and removed the ladder, stranding my friends on the roof.
Quite funny
