To be honest, there weren't any libraries near me when I was a kid. But when I was in primary or middle school, I used to go to libraries a lot. I consider myself a bibliophile from that time. I had so many friends who wanted to go with me to the library. My favorite books were fantasy novels like Harry Potter or Pendragon.
