What *is* a library?
1. A library is legal. A library needn't be licensed by any state entity.
2. Thus, I can declare my computer a library. The only requirement is that I own a license to what I lend, and that only 1 user exercise that license at a time. That is what a library is.
An interesting idea, Major -- but unfortunately nothing is simple these days. Libraries, I would wager, likely have very specific legal definitions (for tax purposes if for no other reason). Regardless, may I be the first to request a library card? C
