In the UK you can borrow books for free from public libraries

I want to know more about libraries in Britain.   Liu Quan Zi

In this Ask About Britain programme, Jo Reffin and Sun Chen find out more about what British people use libraries for. What do British people think of this free service? And just how popular are libraries in the UK?
