I am always promoting how wonderful libraries are. The fact they have Cds and Dvds is amazing and it is all FREE!. The Toronto library has a great website where you can browse their catalogue and then order stuff to be delivered to your local branch.
When it's quiet at work I tend to surf the site looking for Cds I don't have and so I end up with huge lists of stuff on order. I thought just to illustrate how amazing libraries are I would list what I currently have on order:

Impressive list there my friend, although i will say that aside from the 1st, 2nd and last track, Think Tank is pish. This is coming from a someone who considers themselves a massive blur fan...
The beauty of the library is, it doesn't matter if the stuff is bad, it's free.
yes a truly wonderful thing, unless you are the housesitter for three weeks and everytime you answer the phone you get...."the toronto public library has..." :-)
