"I have been going to the library ever since I've lived here(about 9 years.)I have always participate in the summer reading program and occasionally the workshops. I love the comfy furniture as well as the helpful and friendly people. I support the library because I love it, and couldn't survive without it. If I was stranded on a desert island I would bring the first Gaurdians of Ga' Hoole book. My favorite childhood book is "Go Dog Go"(The first book I read.)My Favorite memory was the first time I saw the Alberta Fulbright reading corner because I'm her relative.
To my fantasy dinner I would invite Harry Potter, Albus Dumbledore ,Soren,and Hoole(from Guardians of Ga'Hoole.) I'm recommending the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series. My hobbies are rock collecting and reading. My favorite place in the library to read is any quiet, sunny, nook that has a comfy chair."

My favorite series, Warriors [by Erin Hunter] |
"It's hard sometimes getting your hands on the books you need—it was for me anyway. My mom is a big reader but couldn't afford the books I needed (or wanted to read), and it was a real problem when I had an upcoming science project. Then the Fayettville Public Library opened [Blair building, October 2004]. At first, mom thought it was one of those libraries that would charge money for books, but after a few days we received information from friends that it did not cost anything to get a card. It was all free! Because of the Fayettville Public Library I've been able to do research, check out books, and my mom and dad save more money coming here than any other library. I can now check out the books I want to read and be able to finish any upcoming science project."

| Favorite Novel: |
Heidi by Johanna Spyri |
| Reading now: |
A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle.
|
| Favorite things about the library: |
I love the books of course and the windows. |
| Why you support the library: |
There is an endless amount of knowledge here at the library which I find "addictive". I continue to educate myself here and hope others do the same. |
| Desert island book: |
Only one book would be misery. I couldn't choose. |
| Favorite childhood book: |
Heidi was probably my favorite but I also liked Little Women, Nancy Drew, and all of the Little House on the Prairie books. |
| Favorite library memory: |
The first time I came to see the new library. |
| Currently recommending to friends: |
I read mostly nonfiction so I base my recommendations on what my friends are talking, concerned or asking questions about. My friends laugh every time I say, "I was reading about that," and I do say it a lot. |
| Hobbies: |
Reading of course. |
| Favorite place in the library to read: |
I don't usually read at the library. I am too busy picking out books to checkout. It is easier for me to read at home. With so many books around that I haven't read how do you focus on just one? |

"I introduced my daughter to the library storytimes when she was an infant. The old building on Dickson is what she knew the library to be, until its recent move. I feel my daughter has a special connection to the library because it has been a part of her beginning roots here in Fayetteville. She feels like it is her library, and she is very comfortable there. Her younger brother takes her lead, and enjoys going to the library as well."

| Desert Island Book: |
I don't think I could decide on just one! |
"My favorite things about the library...well there are too many of them, but one of the main ones is the friendly staff—they are always so willing to help me when I need help. I support the library because there are a lot of people that do not appericate the wonders of what a library can provide for you."

"My story starts off like this. When I lost my job, the library was the only place I could go and not be judged. I would come to the library and really focus on what I really wanted to become. I would read all kinds of books that pertain to my particular interest. Such as poetry, investing, real estate, different languages, health books, and how to become a better parent books for future reference. I just really wanted to tap into my emotions and what was bothering me at the time, and why I couldn't get ahead in life. My favorite thing about the library is the staff because they are very helpful, and the comfort of the library. I support the local library because is demonstrates knowledge and it leaves nothing unknown. My favorite place to meet friends is upstairs in world languages, and my favorite place to read is in the reading room."
