All UK libraries I've ever come across, you pay a fee to borrow CDs & cassettes, which you don't get back - not a deposit. When they were lending LPs and cassettes, there was a good excuse for it, the need to pay for damage & replace material (not that they ever did...). When CDs came along, they're digital, so the fee can go up. Digital, you see. Pigeon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
