The last time I had cause to visit the library was to see if I could view the electoral roll there and no, I wasn't stalking an ex, well not that time. while I was there I couldn't help noticing that very few people were actually looking at books. There were old men sitting around reading newspapers, odd bods using the computers (a few of them looked like they'd have made great forum loons)
