Today, is the first time I have been in a Library (local community/council) with any intention, for well over 24 or so years. (Had to wrack me brain it were back in Uni days)
How amazingly wonderous! Now this is a small community Library, they had loads of computers, tablets, an automated book checking out system, you can borrow MP3/MP4 audio books, there was a kiddies learning area, adult study area - it goes on!
How frickin brilliant, I thought! What a complete change in the X amount of years since I'd last been.

Not been in a library since I don't know when, anything I want to look up I just go online.
I do still think libraries are a good thing, but don't k ow anyone that uses them.

My last finished book was secrets of leadership from those SAS bods off the TV, had some good suggestions in IT for handling different work type scenarios.
Any 'other' ideas probably come from the net, sticky pages would be a killer for any library's budget I suspect ?!!!

Make the most of them, they are slowly but surely getting closer down.
