I have spells of using my local library, in fact I plan to pop in tomorrow as I am in town. No idea what I want, but I like a browse.

How much does it cost to Oldham?
I went in failsworth library last saturday for the first time- excellent place. I'll be using it more often.

Last week. Ten books is the maximum - used to be three when I was a boy 
. All signed out with a swipe of a Borough 'Gold card'. Can be renewed online at a click. (Although I always pay the fine as I think I'm contributing 
)
A rediscovered activity of the past year.

Several years. I'm an avid reader, but tend just to buy things from Amazon and charity shops. I keep most of the non-fiction stuff and a fair bit of the fiction (the house is getting a bit full) and recycle the rest back to charity shops.

Every couple of weeks for the last 40 years - what's the point in buying books when there are hundreds available for free in the library?!!!
And I'll be in there this morning running a free internet taster session for older people.

My last sortie was for the OS 'segment' from London to Swansea, coincidentally. Unsurprisingly, the one missing was No: 159...
...noted for the seaserpents and dragons and the portions marked 'here be beasties'.
One thing. The library in Brixton is always full of young people studying. It's sometimes difficult to get a seat.

Better take that book back - think of the fine!!
We often pop in on a Saturday if we're in town, my daughter gets a stack of books out - she reads books so fast it's a waste buying them for her unless it's a 10p car boot bargain. We get DVDs from our too!
