About my libraryOctober 2007: this library is shared by two persons who love reading immensely. All these books are on our shelves.
2007-11-03: Start of a new tag (kb-dob) for those books we borrowed from the library and want to recall.
Spring 2008 we decided to add our dvd's.
January 2009: kb-dob > kb-dob-ppl. The Hague has some fine libraries: kb = royal library, dob = public library, ppl = peace palace library.
