The last time I borrowed a book for recreational reading from a library was in 2004 (a book not available in stores I borrowed from the university library). I never borrow from my own local library because they haven't got a lot of books (in English) I'm interested in.
About a year ago my local library started lending ebooks out. I was, and am, very interested but, unlike their physical catalogue, I cannot check what ebooks they are lending out unless I get a library card and I'm not going to pay €26,50 or €42,50 just to see if they have anything I'm interested in.
