IN the May edition you published a letter from David Hodgson lamenting the fact the clergy, as an occupational group, appeared to be at the bottom of the league as regards time spent in reading for pleasure. He expressed interest in hearing from anyone who would like to explore the idea of a virtual and collective lending library. May I trespass on your columns to introduce a website I have developed which does precisely that? The website is at www.thevirtual-library.co.uk and it enables members to browse around a database of books that belong to other members. At present, only two towns – Buckingham and Wokingham – have books in the virtual library but further branches can be set up for other towns very easily. I can be contacted on my email address at librarian@the-virtual-library.co.uk if anyone would like a branch in their home town.
