Nottingham library system is simply fantastic. the cards are barcode enabled. There are automatic rfid checkout machines( all the books are tagged and are read when you place them on the chekout machine. You can renew over the web or the phone. Sadly unlike the californian library system ( santa clara county I was there a long time back in 1997) dvd and cds are not free, there is a cost ( 50 p for music cds and 2 pounds per week for dvds. In california dvds cds and software were freely available. Can anyone confirm if that is the case now ?
Right now I am devouring the comics section of the library . Ther are several genres of comics including the graphic novel high art types like sandman by neil gaiman or alan moores V for vendetta, and there is also the cheesy stuff like amazing spiderman, Justice league of america , etc etc. I'm not picky - I like them all.
I have not been keeping up witht he blog lately but I will try to do so from here.
