but the library rocks my socks

26.april.05: there were several storeys in the city centre library (pun completely intended). each floor was categorised by types of books and multimedia they had available.

and there were three things about this place won me over.

1. the ground floor was chock full of cds and dvds. i mean real albums. new movies. rock/pop new releases. oscar winners and little-known foreign flicks. that you can rent. for a week. for 1 pound. drool.

2. they had a floor dedicated to SHEET MUSIC. i kid you not. there was EVERYTHING. classical solo flute pieces, full SSAATTBB choral arrangements, ancient gregorian notations and madonna's new album in piano and vocals. if they didn't have it, you can order it. which brings me to number 3:

3. if they didn't have ANYTHING, book or cd, sheet music or video, you can order it. it would be delivered to your nearest branch within a day.

i THINK i have those facts right – kev told me about them so quickly, i was still enamoured by the selection of everything, i wasn't paying much attention to details.

oh, and visitors get an hour internet free. i guess i could make that number 4.
