I don't get to the Oakland library much because the hours
suck for me.  The South Side library has mostly children's
books but I know now what's in their history files and 
go when I need something.

I have to schedule trips to the library, now, like other
attractions, because it's now only in hours which I
am usually otherwise engaged.

Mr. Brashear;

I see that some libraries now have laptops for checkout
which apparently works well, at least so far.  Does UOP
do this?  How does it work?  Are you aware of other
libraries who have laptop checkouts?  Electronic books
won't be far behind will they.
