What type of books do you usually check out at the library?

Both, and also music CDs. I'm a big user of the main and various branches of the library. San Francisco's main library also has periodic booksales and one huge annual one where books are a dollar or just a few bucks.

both but mostly fiction

Back when I used libraries, it was both. However, it has been a long time.

I nonfiction

I have only taken out two books in the last 15 years and they were both fiction

Usually either fiction or biographies. I got Les Miserables out on Monday, after returning eleven books at once. That was nice on my arms.

I haven't used a library in decades.

Usually science fiction and history.

I generally get books at Borders because the library always seems so far behind, but when I do go, I get fiction.

I have my own library. Otherwise I am searching resources on line. I don't read fiction much at all.

There are still libraries?

In the past I used libraries only for reference materials, which 99% were way out of date. I don't see the need for libraries anymore unless you're a die-hard book reader.

I like Science Fiction and Fantasy, but I've checked out non-fiction books from time-to-time.

The majority of my library use is academic, so non-fiction. I almost never get fiction at the library.

Non-fiction

I don't check out books from the library anymore. Did you know you have to bring those back???? And I can't stand letting go of a book.

I have a library card but haven't checked a book out in years. I prefer to buy books and keep them. I hit book stores, flea markets and thrift stores to get books. Where I live there is a "library" where people donate books and you can go in and take them with no charge or check out. I have gotten a lot of books from there and dropped off some that I no longer wanted.

Fiction from the city library, non-fiction from the university/hospital libraries.

I prefer fiction.
To me books are escapist. If they're teach me stuff about life, then all the better.
