Public libraries. Does anyone borrow CDs from them?

And to be replaced by bloody comics!!

Some of them would like to think they're comics

Going back to earlier in this thread, I used to visit the library in Dorking when I lived in Surrey. The CDs stretched all down one very long wall of the room. There were (I think) 5 shelves absolutely stuffed with discs. I found some really obscure things there which I borrowed. This would have been about 22 years ago.

Cambridge central library was good, about 10 years ago and I regularly used to borrow things from there when I lived nearby.

Now, the village I live in doesn't have any CDs in its library at all. York central library (or whatever they call it these days) is shockingly poor. Up until a major refit (= removing all the old shelving and replacing it with modern stuff which is far less interesting and also getting rid of lots of shelves and worst of all (probably) pulping a large collection of oboe music which they had been left in a legacy, I assume) the selection was ok. Now it is utterly poor.
