The main library branch in my city decided to get rid of the whole Rock section because they were tired of people stealing the cds.

Yeah, like no one ever steals Jazz or Classical. *rolls eyes*

Croydon Clock Tower library has a surprisingly good prog selection of the predictable classic variety - Genesis, Yes, Tull and Floyd are all well represented. In my experience UK public libraries aren't that great for prog, or any other rock genre for that matter, because they're criminally under budgeted despite our ever rising council tax bills. A good CD selection is nice, but I'd rather they spent the money on books if cash is tight.
