Waitrose links up with Kenilworth library (UK)

"Waitrose in Kenilworth, UK, will become one of the first stores to take part in a new scheme that may see some mobile library and community services moved to supermarkets. The Bertie Road store is to have a new book drop-off point installed this month - sparking rumours that the town's library could face closure. But Joe Baconnet, town centre manager, says that the service should only be a "drop-off" point for books. And he said that Kenilworth is in the top eight of the county's libraries and therefore is unlikely to close"
