Works for me. I haven't borrowed a DTB in over 10 years. eBooks and eReaders made it possible for me to borrow books from the comfort of my home; and I'm loving it.

I did pay a visit to my library today to renew my account. There were a few blocks requiring me to physically show them proof of my residence. It's been that way for years, but I never did anything about it since I was still able to borrow ebooks online.

Anyway, I was there less than 5 minutes and left. Man, has it changed; but then, it's been years since I've been there. I wonder what it'll look like the next time I drop by?
