Borrowing vs Buying

Do you prefer to borrow books from libraries when you want to read them, or buy the book and add it to your collection?

When I had a proper job and a proper income I loved buying books. Now I have neither, I'm eternally grateful for libraries because without them I wouldn't be reading new books at all. And authors DO get some income from library copies, so I don't feel bad about it.
