I frequently go to libraries Ades. The ones in the Vale of Glamorgan are run by volunteers, no degree required. And they are mainly doing admin, IT, and stacking the books.
The leaving age in the UK is 16. I left at 18, while in Germany, after doing an A-Level in English Literature.
Get this through your fucking ugly head. You don't know shit about me, so don't make up fucking stupid stories that reflect your own ugliness and probably aspects of your own pathetic excuse of a life. I don't live in a hostel, as far as I know, no such thing exists in the Vale of Glamorgan. Tramps like you are usually found pissing in the streets in Cardiff.
And "lend" is the term the local libraries use.
"A lending library is a library from which books and other media are lent out."
So, FAIL once again for the English teacher. Don't YOU ever fucking dare comment on my literacy, you retarded little scrotum faced witch. Your continued pretence of being an expert has gone beyond parody, and your obnoxious attitude, especially when you pick flaws where there aren't any, just proves your lack of social graces, indicative of someone who has no friends.
Let me explain it as I explained it to my students :
The library lrnds the book, and the library member borrows the book

www.facebook.com/wenvoeWant to contact them, tell em they're not real libraries? Just outreaches for the wives of farm labourers? Curious comment from the class warrior. Do you think libraries are just for an elite few? Why the city folk prejudice about the country? You a townie, Adesy? Life outside urban squalor frightens you? They're not all rich people, you know? 😉
