Wearing my 'IS Manager for a Council' hat...

Aside from the great laugh you'd give the council/library staff, this
idea wouldn't be much chop.

But, libraries might be open to the idea of a club providing a small
display stand, with some information about FOSS and some free distro
CD's for people to try, but anything that requires the library staff to
provide semi-technical help to members of the public quickly becomes a
hot potato.

Cheers, Me.
