NO you are so blessed with a library nearby!
We were saying earlier, for us, nearest library is a 50 mile round trip, so we all tend to just buy our books.
Once I have sorted out my library, I am getting to the boxes either tonight or tomorrow, I will make a list of books I am happy to pass on for postage.

I'm grateful for libraries the nearest one in town easy to get to but getting there when it's open when I'm not working or sleeping while not hard just eats into time so this time I can get there in 10 to 20 minutes. Though it's only open on certain days

Hann - how much did you find it for ? I haven’t been able to locate it but really fancy it and considering paying the tenner and getting started shortly.

Just checked to see if the February book is available from the e-library, and it is....in May! Think I might be late to the party on this one :-)
