		<description>Not to be a downer, but I think that the biggest obstacle for both of your proposals is that they require a lot of time and energy from people who are either volunteers, or Library Staff who are certainly too busy for extra duties.  It certainly makes sense to retain whatever books the Library needs, and a decentralized library may be a viable alternative, but where is the horsepower, and funding going to come from? </description>

		<description>Yea, doing it local would be a lot easier. And I think there are a bunch of websites that you could use to do it already. 
 
A quick Google found &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.borrowme.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.borrowme.com/&lt;/a&gt; right away, that looks like it could be good. 
 
We should talk at #pcto10 </description>

		<description>Hey Will, thanks. 
 
While the idea of a cross-province/country/borders library is neat - the idea was more something I was looking at on a local level. Early thoughts: 
1. To join, you must have a book or books your willing to lend. 
2. Once you&#039;re a member, you can borrow any book from any member. A website is used to track books, and handle requests for books. 
3. The person who has the book and the person who ants the book meet up for the exchange - thus encouraging more community members to get to know each-other. 
4. The person receiving the book has it for a guaranteed, say, three weeks. Then the book becomes available to the group again. 
 
It eliminates the shipping costs, encourages community exchanges and connections, and helps the local community grow (Maybe something for the KW or London meetups, too?) </description>

		<description>I like the idea of a decentralized library. 
 
Thinking of how it could work: 
- Users post books they have 
- Others post books they want 
 
In order to borrow a book, you have to first send a book out yourself. Here&#039;s how it works. 
 
- The site notifies you that someone wants my book 
- I ship the book to that person at my own expense 
- the person marks on the website that the book has been received 
- I can then request a book from someone else, who will ship it to me at their own expense 
 
Shipping books at your own expense is to avoid having to deal with credit cards and memberships. The real trick will be limiting the distance that a book travels as that could get costly. </description>

		<description>As you (thoroughly) detail your privacy settings, I thought I might share my thoughts on Facebook:  I&#8217;ve long suspected that Facebook is more trouble than it&#8217;s worth. Earlier this year from October 1-15th I logged the amount of time daily that I spent on Facebook. I also assigned a number between 1-5 to indicate how enjoyable I found each &#8220;session,&#8221; with 5 being very enjoyable.  
 
I averaged 1.75 hours a day (on Facebook), with an average enjoyment factor of 2. So I came to the conclusion that I&#8217;m done with Facebook. All of my correspondence is now done via email and telephone, and I am much happier. Anyway, just my experience - something to think about.  </description>

		<description>Ohhh - I like &quot;Toss-up... Thursday&quot;. Or Tuesday, I guess. Part of me wants to do a Twitter day on a Tuesday or Thursday... But then I&#039;d have two Twitter days... And I&#039;m not sure there would always be enough Twitter news. Or I could move my follow tips to the Twitter day and free up a &#039;Facebook Friday&#039;.  
  
Maybe a &#039;Social Sunday&#039; for all of the social media news?  </description>

		<description>It&#039;s really never been an idea thing - I can come up with post ideas like there&#039;s no tomorrow... In fact, I often mentally dictate posts to myself when I&#039;m out on a walk, riding my bike or in the shower... It&#039;s more of a time to write them, read them, edit them and so on.  </description>
