One problem for me, living in Denmark, is that all the books at the library are in Danish. I prefer to read books in their original language, or at least in an English or German translation, which are usually markedly superior to the Danish translations.
If I want a book in English, I either have to special order it at the library and wait for a week to get it, or I have to buy it myself.
