Interesting site(s)! I clicked on one of the libraries, chose one of their online services and entered a random 14 digit number (which began with the 5 digit sequence helpfully posted by Lancashire Libraries on their website) and was immediately connected to the service. I have no idea who will get the credit for that use - or who's paying for it. I could have saved Manchester, Leeds and Oldham their postage as there seems to be no need to apply for a card from anyone at all now. Still maybe the Nick Sarkozy card will get me into a French library next time I'm there? I'm deliberately not posting the Lancashire link but thanks to the member of staff at another authority that sent me the link. Not wishing to threaten these services *at all* I will not set any more hares running on the topic but it's a bit of a mess isn't it?
