No, but I do think that people who use libraries are more inclined to be readers

Top Tip: Libraries are great places to pick up unsatisfied women.
Well, they used to be anyway. I expect with this new fangled internetworking stuff they can attempt to better their lives using a computer.

Are unsatisfied women looking for more-unsatisfaction? I'm there!

I'm an expert at providing dissatisfaction?

Ooh, I never thought about providing satisfaction for them, that's a novel concept.

Presumably you haven't seen or read my post. Maybe "reading" isn't your cup of tea ?

Probably, I imagine many users fall into either too poor/tight to buy a book - too poor/tight to run a car, or buying a booking when you can borrow one is excess consumption - driving a car when you can cycle is excess consumption.

Libraries are boring.

Part of my job is surveying for (urban) cycle routes and collecting data on cycling infrastructure.
One place you can *almost* guarantee to find cycle parking stands is outside public libraries.
Nine-times-out-of-ten they'll be empty, mind...

Clearly I had "read" your post as I quoted your link, and as stated after reading it was of interest (and not just because of the picture) ;-). Though Students are a special case (weridly I drove more when i was a student..)
The reason I ask is that looks like a number of Libraries may pass from LA control into local groups control.
Struck me that a cycle recycle scheme / simple cycle repair / secure cycle storage might be a good thing to tie into Libraries as a way of extending their service on the basis that library users may also be cyclists. Not sure Why I think that, but just seems to tie up.
We have a cycle recycle scheme Woking (well think it is still going?), but it is quite inaccessible and they do not even advertise bikes they are selling.. if the scheme was based in or with a library in a more central location it would be more accessible and then potential more successful (not saying current operation is not btw).
Cheers

could happen..

not saying it is a good idea, but a indy library might be better than no library at all..

though my idea for cycle related stuff could happen in either case / LA or indy

Ah right sorry..........didn't realise you were quoting me. Obviously "secure cycle storage" is always a good idea, although I can't say the same about handing over libraries to community groups staffed by volunteers. I very much doubt that it is motivated by a desire to achieve an enhanced library service.
