That does sound like a really good deal for the library.  It is good that they
have such a relationship with that bookstore.

I have checked out our local library a few times.  They have a big building. 
When you get inside you realize they don't have as many books as you'd expect
from such a big place.  Seems geared a lot more towards children's books than
what I would be interested in, and they don't open until 10am or so, which is a
little late for my tastes.

I usually wind up buying from the local bookstore, or Amazon.
