I go to my local library once a week every Saturday morning. They encouraged a chess club which was what got me in the door (shamefully for someone who reads as much as I do I rarely went) and now I use their other services, it's got a nice little cafe attached and upstairs they have a maker space. It's surprisingly progressive for my local council. As to why I like the library, it provides useful services beyond lending books (which in the world of Amazon and e-readers isn't enough - however I'm happy to pay taxes towards the people on low incomes been able to check out books), mostly it's the people who run the place, they are almost universally lovely to interact with.
