I get 3-4 books from the Carnegie Library every couple of weeks, and invariably the books I want are already checked out. So I put a hold on the book, and get it 2-3 weeks later. It works out well for me because I always have books being requested, and books being delivered. And it makes me feel so good that other people in Pittsburgh read the same stuff as I do... even if I don't know who they are.
Q&A : Vikas Swarup - Requested by 32 people
Things I learned about my dad in therapy : Heather B. Armstrong - requested by 2
Waiter Rant : requested by 124 people
Brisingr : requested by 231
Dreams from my father : requested by 33
Daughters of India - requested by 2
I'm so glad the Carnegie Library is right next door - and I wish there were such libraries in India as well.

I sooo wish we had such libraries in India... :(
If I have enough money by the time I retire, I will definitely set one up!
:O at 124 people requesting 'Waiter Rant'
and also :O that you find time to read as much!
btw, have you checked out the audio collection on the 2nd floor? it's absolutely brilliant - any random music you've been hunting for, you'll find here :)
You are totally correct that there must be such libararies in India that are like Carnegie Library.
I hope India cuold be such a developed country.
Hey
I noticed you are an RAIT Alum and your blog appears when I search for RAIT Alumni.
Could you do me a favor and sign up at http://alumni.rait.ac.in and add a blog post telling more RAIT Alums about the site? Would really help us with Google PageRanking. Feedback on the site always welcome.
Thanks
Soum
