07? How... perplexing. I'm sure there is some esoteric significance.
Well, 5,535 miles is too far to walk at once go, but it would be quite easy over years. Remember when I walked from the Shire to Rivendell, and then to Minas Tirith? I don't remember how many miles it was. A lot.
On the other hand, to walk to you, or even to meet halfway, there's be some sort of swimming involved, and I don't swim. On principle. (And because I swim really badly.)
Does the 35 euro cost cover a span of time - like, do you get to use it for a year? Or a lifetime?
We now have something called a SmartCard, which I love. If you have a card with the Public Library, they give you something that entitles you to a card a the university libraries. I already had a card at Carleton U. as an alumna, but now I can get books from the University of Ottawa as well - which is much more convenient. I love it! No cost. The program is 'experimental' and not advertised. I just hope it doesn't go away.
eh, 35 by year. But I still think it is quite a good deal. Note, this is the Amsterdam area, all local libraries are under municipal government and there can be different arrangements, either cheaper or more exepensive.
Libraries are a good deal whatever they are. I was using the Carleton University library with a fee of $25 per year, and considered it a great deal. Now I get to use it free - even better!
