If not, the libraries are doing a great job of creating a demand for such a rival service... And when will companies etc realise that prospective and current employees have always done foolish things - just because it's on Facebook doesn't mean they aren't good employees.

At 8 my son still loves to have a story read to him at bedtime. He is currently reading Pullman's Northern Lights, but when it comes to bed time I always read something with a moral or positive message.
