Live I'm in Blackpool for the day (full report and reasons later...) and currently using their library to check my email and write this. It's certainly some of the most hospitable public access I've used - I simply went up to the counter and asked the clerk if I needed to be a member. She said no, I could be signed on as a guest and before I knew it there was a slip of paper in my hand with a sign up code, I'd been assigned a machine and was told I had an hour. Big difference to the chilly reception I've had in most places - at Manchester library you practically had to promise a pint of blood and a DNA sample...
