Online librarian is ‘overwhelmed’

From the Beeb:

“The My Book Your Book website does not go live until Monday evening, but has already received 750 applications. All of its “founder members” will be able to access thousands of paperback novels – provided they donate 10 books each to the co-operative scheme. “I always thought it would work, but I’m surprised how quickly it’s taken off,” Peter Baillie told BBC News. The website asks its members to add a list of 10 books they own to its online catalogue.”
