Due to being utterly skint at the moment - both DH and I out of work, I went to my local library today to join. There's a big list of books I would buy if I had the cash, a mix of fiction, and non fiction.
Joined no problem and set off upstairs to non fiction all excited. There's no limit to the number of books you can take out and you can have them for 3 weeks before renewing/returning.
I couldn't find a single book on my list, and they weren't especially out there, bizarre academic tomes or anything. There was no history section at all, nothing. I had to ask someone in case I was being dim and had missed it :( Most of the the non fiction seemed to be travel guides and cook books. I mooched in psychology/sociology section and it was all self help books and vic lit.
I didn't check out the fiction today, was too disheartened by the non fiction. It's great that there's a meeting room for hire, lots of computers and they seem to do a lot of childrens sessions, but where are the bloody books???
It's quite a big library ( well the building is!) in a reasonable sized market town, AIBU to expect a more rounded selection of reading material?
