I use the Durham public library even though sometimes a good track may not sound too good due to misuse of the CD. I don't understand why people mistreat the CD/DVDs in such a way. However, it gives me a risk free tryout of the CDs and if I like them, the search is on for one to purchase. This gives me opportunities to listen to music I never heard of or by people/bands I have not noticed from World genre, Easy listening, to Jazz to Classical to Pop. My local library selection over the year is almost exhausted and I may have to start looking in Rap Hip Hop and Country. The online system at least for me is great when it works. I can search, see status but never lets me reserve for some reason.
