What is your library like? Does it have a good selection? What are the hours like? What kind of services does it offer? Has it gotten better or worse over time? I'm curious to hear from people in different places.

What is your most reread book? What about it keeps you coming back?

Is there a book cover that sticks out in your mind as being particularly excellent?

By this, I mean either an author you love despite their shortcomings (ie "guilty pleasure"), or an author who you know is a terrible person which causes you to not be able to look away in fascination (ie "hate-read"), or an author who you know is terrible but despite this you're like, damn, their writing is still excellent (ie "your fav is problematic.") What makes them terrible, and what makes you like them anyway?

I'm just wondering if I'm struggling to figure something out as a mod or a regular user where's the best place to ask?

Sometimes when I go on vacation I'll check out the local library just to see what other cities have going on. What's the most interesting public library you've ever seen?

Are there any authors you have a love-hate relationship with? Where you love some of their books and they're among your favorites, but you hate others and they're some of your least favorites?
