The new FREE Lending Library Service in armed and fully operational. Anybody who wants to borrow books will have to sign up for the scheme and then they're free to borrow books whenever they want.
How long can I keep them for? Graphic Novels will be available for periods of two weeks, giving people ample time to read, enjoy and digest the stories. Take them home, to work, to the park; anywhere you’d normally enjoy your comics. They’re yours to use as your own for the two weeks you’ve got them.
How do I take advantage of the service? Just come along to OK Comics, 19 Thorntons Arcade, Leeds, and see what’s available. There may be something you’ve had your eye on but been reluctant to splash out on. Now’s your chance to dip into a wide range of graphic novel series’. If there’s anything you’re unsure of our staff will be happy to help.
What’s the catch? No catch. The aim of this service is to get as many people as possible to read comics that they may have otherwise overlooked.
Small Print. OK Comics is taking quite a risk handing out books while taking no payment for them, so we do require some information from people wanting to enjoy the service. We require two forms of ID (picture ID and a recent letter with current address on it) and credit card details so that if you decide to keep the book we can bill you accordingly. We do reserve the right to charge the retail value of the book if it’s lost or is returned in poor condition.
We've run this scheme for a few years now, and at first there were no problems. But in the last year we had quite a lot of people borrow books and never bring them back. Not just strangers either. Regular customers, friends and neighbours. So we take credit card details as a deposit, and charge people who don't return them.
