It's funny how library reading has phased out of my life. As a kid, the library was the place to be, and I'd just go discover something. As an adult, I tend to want something specific and am less inclined to wait the months needed for a popular book. I'm looking forward to being able to go back to browse at our local branch when it's safe again. But when reading library books, I tend to make notes in my pocket notebook about what I'm reading. It's not as easy as marking the book, so I tend more toward quick paraphrasing than quoting, but it still helps me think about what I'm reading (something I do too little of).
Good idea! I'll try reading with a little notebook. I never really go to the library to "browse" - I have an ever-growing list of books I want to read, so I just reserve them online and go pick them up when they're ready. I always have 2-3 books ordered so even if it take a while, I get a good rotation. And it's nice to keep a little element of surprise because you never know which book will become available first.
That's a great way to do it. I should really do that with the ebooks at the library, even if I'm not going in for the physical copies right now.
