Does DCL ships have libraries?

[Sytrace]

One of my favorite cruise activities is reading. I bring books from home and leave them with CMs when I am done...same with magazines. Sometimes, I actually buy a couple on the ship if I have finished the ones I brought...which has happened. The CM's seem to like it when I do that and hopefully the books are enjoyed by many people.

After one of my sailings, I donated my copy of Poseidon Adventure.

Why is there not an option to love this?

Does this mean after your next cruise you will donate "Titanic?" Yikes! Go with pirate books, my favorite.

My local library sells donated paperbacks for 25 cents. I pick up several before every trip, and leave them along the way as I finish them. It's a way to make sure that I'll have room for souvenirs in my bag on my trip home.

Wonder had books and magazines in the Cove Cafe 2 weeks ago.

Pretty sure I've borrowed and/or left behind a book in every ship's Cove Cafe. However, as was stated, the selection is pretty much dependent upon what was left behind by other passengers. I know for sure I've read James Patterson, Kristin Hannah, and Janet Evanovich courtesy of Cove Cafe.

I have a nook, Barnes and Noble tablet reader. that way I have my library of 700 books with me. I also check out e-library books through the Overdrive app.

I bring my Kindle for my use but there are few books in Cove Café.

I haven't yet read Night To Remember, so perhaps.

Yes, my Sony Reader changed my packing style of reading material. I loaded up my Kobo with overdrive library books this past trip.
I'll bring some paperbacks with me for the ebta to add to the cove collection, though.

I have one of those too! Love it! And Overdrive is an awesome source of free e books. I try and remember to download books before a cruise so that I have them and don't have to re read my old archived books on the ship.

I'll look forward to seeing what you've added when I'm on board a few weeks later for the Med.

Oh, the pressure's on!

When I was on the Wonder for the NYE cruise, I donated "Snow Falling on Cedars" by David Guterson and picked up "Never Let Me Go" by Kazuo Ishiguro. Wow, those were both bleak, but well-written, novels! I always try to finish one book on the ship and pick up another from the Cove Café.

I have had a nook since first generation and LOVE it!! ESPECIALLY for traveling!! That first summer when I flew to NC to meet my family for beach week, I kept thinking i'd forgotten something because my backpack was sooooooo light! Nope...just had all my books in one light little package rather than the 7 or 8 I'd usually have with me. (Yes, I'm a nerd and CAN get through 7-8 books during a beach week. Being on the pasty spectrum helps too because I have to be indoors a lot there. )

I'm on my 3rd one. I have first generation, nook color (I think) and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2. I love them all and have upgraded for more memory and features. I read almost exclusively on my nook now because it is so convenient. I used to carry a lot of books with me too. Do you use Overdrive?

Has anyone been on the Magic since dry dock? I feel like I read that the bookcase was gone after the renovation of Cove Cafe.
