Hi Chew Lin, Books & Beer sure seems tingling - for the nose, the brain and the network. I saw their page and website - a very apt inviting combination. Reminded me of a book club in Manipal - those meetups used to be so fulfilling.
With MeULib - still trying to get people to adopt. I need to focus on local adoption. Some cross-country nice stories have occurred - a mountain climber in Bangalore getting Jamling Tenzing Norgay's book to read from Bombay - a poetry lover discovering authors she did not know of and such like.
