We have 2 lace books- one of Heather Toomer's books,, and the other a Jill Norsford-Clarke one, in my local library - (a small branch of the main one) and I take them out every few weeks, just to get it noted on their list as being used. I usually browse through them and look at the pictures! There is always something I had forgotten, or not noted, and as time passes I get interested in a "new" lace and can check it out in the books, so borrowing it is Never a waste! And at least, I am helping to keep them there on the shelf!
I, too, measure my threads for winding bobbins by pulling out arm lengths! I wind the first bobbin, getting as much as I think looks about right, then pull off the reel 2 or 3 arm lengths for the other bobbin. It is a handy measure that is always available!!!
