I was saddened to read that the Danish association are only letting personal visitors view their library. As I've said before, A lot of the research on music illegal downloads show that in the baby boomer generation do download illegally but go onto buy the music once they have heard it.
I used to borrow lace books from the public library to see if I wanted to buy them. When I first started to make lace I earnt £406each mint after tax and a lace book was £20 -£25 so to buys book was a big investment for me. In real terms, many have dropped in price because our income is higher but the books are not much more than then but for many of the foreign language books I would like to look at them as the text is of limited use (I will often read how an Sutton describes doing a piece of lace even if I'm not going to make it because it may help with another piece.) Seeing vendors at lace days helps because you can look through the book but this is of no use to our lacemaking friends who are geographically isolated and can't make such events.
