Our library offers the e-books, too. I have borrowed e-books a couple times. At one time you could borrow pictures, I don't know if that is still a available.

Borrow pictures?  I don't understand what you mean.  Help me understand!   ;D

Maybe movies or pictures of art, just guessing. Ours have eBooks, books on CD, movies, CD's and video games. It is just not books anymore as you probably are so aware, Abby!

I got some pubescent tales from the library. . . But I can't post them here.  :icon_twisted:

Any "point" made by one that lacks credibility, is only as useful as toilet paper; and serves the same purpose. ~ Palehorse 4/22/2017

May you find charity when it is needed, and the ability to extend it when it is not. ~Palehorse 7/4/2012

To the last, I grapple with thee; From Hell's heart, I stab at thee; For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee.~Herman Melville

Framed oil paintings, some originals and also copies of famous artists. Check them out just like a book. I think you could keep them for three months. It was a nice way to decorate and try new styles.

Was that the intent?  I've never heard of a library providing items like that before.  I would imagine that storage space required for items like that would require would preclude most libraries from those sorts of offerings.

I have never heard of that.  I looked it up, and the Ann Arbor Library still does this.  Wow!

I can only imagine the replacement cost if you lost or damaged the original or even then copies!   :eek:

I wonder if theft is a problem with those offerings.

Theft is a problem with anything at a library.  Hell, we had a woman steal romance novels!  :eek:

If I was going to steal from a library, it wouldn't be a romance novel.

I would imagine they have people put down deposits on things like that.

Maybe, but I'm not so sure about that. Maybe Anne can tell us.
