Used

I tried googling this answer, but can't figure it out. Am I being gramatically correct with the word used in this way:

I used to go to the bar the Library once a week.

I can't decide if this is perfectly correct, the wrong word, or spelled incorrectly... can you help?

UPDATE: Nothing? Nada? No one can advise? Where's Mrs. Haberman when you need her - probably dying of lung cancer from her 2 pack a day habit.

"Used" in the past tense followed by "to" in order to indicate a former state, habitual practice, or custom: Mail service used to be faster; I used to give her a ride home

Also, "The Used" is a sweet band

Thank you cousin Paul - it's good to know I haven't been using that word incorrectly for the last 20 years. (I figure at age 6 I didn't talk about that many things I used to do...)
