I like this idea,although I only have half a dozen books of my own to loan
out.Everyone could benefit from the idea of a group library.

> The second would be for people to donate books to the group (some

> The online concept is good but may bother someone with the copyrights.
> I wouldn't mind doing this.  I already have a pretty extensive personal
> library which I am trying to inventory at the moment.
> For this to really work though we need to come up with a list of group
> members before we start just handing out books.
> Just a thought.
