Don't forget to check your local library before paying for this new service. Several county library services already subscribe to the service which means it's available free from home to library card holders.

But my Library service do not subscribe and have no intention of doing so, so I have been led to believe.

Well anyone who lives in County Durham and any other area where you cannot get this service for free, should in my opinion send and e-mail to them asking them why we cannot have the same service as other parts of the county, as we pay our Taxes for such services to be provided.

Thanks,

In five minutes I found about 65 references to mine. Unfortunately, I cannot look for free at the local library so I can see the plastic card being brought out yet again.
