Dear Friends
I want to write about Justbooks lending library chain.
I visited today one of the four outlets in Hyderabad - in Trimulgherry near Karkhana, to be precise. The ambiance is excellent and very inviting. They have arranged books age wise -- kids, pre teens, teens and as wel by broad subjects.
They have several plans. A registration fee of Rs 500, refundable deposit varying from Rs 500 to Rs 1500, a monthly subscription starting at Rs 150 going up to Rs 250 depending upon number of books needed at a time. An ad-hoc (on demand) plan costs rs 500 as deposit and rs 75 per book per loan returnable within a month. I found kids enjoying reading in cozy atmosphere.The library has online union catalog of books easily searchable via touch screen menu. All books have RFID tags for charging / discharging.
