UK Library users given the right to request any book be ordered

Library-goers should have the right to order any book – including out-of-print editions – and free access to e-books under a new plan for the future of the library service.

Free internet use and membership of all libraries in England are also recommended under proposals outlined by Culture Minister Margaret Hodge.

The public library modernisation review policy statement sets out a series of "core" features which would ensure the service meets the challenges of the 21st century.

Good news indeed - so get down those libraries and order Arkansas Smith. Oh and while you're at it - don't forget The Tarnished Star.
