>Millions of book lovers can now borrow items from a

>More than 4,000 libraries in England, Wales and
>Northern Ireland are in the Society of Chief
>Librarians initiative.
>Existing membership cards or a proof of address will
>allow people to use any library in the scheme,
>although books have to be returned to the same area.
>"It's to say to people, wherever you are, you can use
>a library," the society's chairman Fiona Williams

>The aim is to encourage more people to use libraries,
>in the face of competition from online book sellers
>and people browsing in bookshops with coffee bars.
>Among those who might benefit from the scheme are
>people who need extra reading material while on
>holiday.
>People will also be able to use other library services
>such as DVD rental and online resources, she added.
>'More accessible'
>Ms Williams said: "Libraries are a public service for

>are open to them, not only the libraries where they
>live.
>"This is an important step towards making libraries
>even more accessible to all."
>The society is developing a scheme for the future
>where one library card would allow the holder to
>borrow and return books to any public library in
>England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
>Scotland is not included in the scheme as its
>libraries are represented by a separate body, the
>Scottish Library and Information Council, but some
>libraries are considering joining the initiative.
>The author and former children's laureate, Michael
>Rosen, welcomed the move, saying borrowing should be
>made easier for children.

>Some areas of the UK, including the north-west of
>England, have already done away with asking for forms
>of ID for membership completely, including libraries
>in the Stockport, Blackpool and Manchester areas.
>David Fay, libraries manager for Newcastle city
>council says the scheme means people who live in one
>area but work in another can use the facilities in
>either area.
>"It opens up a fantastic library network nationally
>for everybody, so we're really excited about it," he
>told the BBC.
