do you prefer to buy a book or borrow from the library?

i have so many books so i know its stupid, but i would much rather buy a book than borrow one. i love keeping the books i have read so that i have the choice to re-read one day

You can get bookstart packs from the library as well as from health checks, at least you can in my area.

Yes, I buy from the Book People via work and I also get their catalogues at home.

I also review books and have received over 60 books this year from that, but I sometimes find it quite hard work to do that, and usually end up writing reviews very late at night and posting them next morning.

I mainly buy these days, but that's because if i fancy something, I just buy it directly when I place my normal orders.

but I love going to the library, and if it's something I know i'm not going to use regularly, or it's a big outlay and i don't know what I need, then I'll go to the library.

I love going to the university library and indulging my non fiction passions

I do both - usually ask for certain books for birthday etc, but browse the library for more sporadic interests, things I might not buy but don't mind risking when it is free. Plus libraries need to be supported.
