Not that I don't have enough to read, because CLEARLY I manage to keep finding things, but still!<br />Luckily, we have a trip coming up--to Utah actually!--so I should have some extra reading time soon.Linnaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06500189741421518061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3892751680998801705.post-37591716453806505892016-02-11T06:33:48.240-08:002016-02-11T06:33:48.240-08:00Isn't this always the way it is?

I've done that several times with our library, and they've always purchased them right away.

I usually check every couple of months--you know, type in 15-20 from Goodreads, just to see what comes up--and I couldn't believe it when book after book was available. It was great!<br />Yes, you can do Inter-Library Loans here, but the tend to be very stingy about parceling them out. I could also get a county library card, but the nearest branch is a bit of a drive, with nothing else in that town that I would go there for. So I haven't ever done it. I have enough trouble getting my books turned in as it is! :)<br />Linnaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06500189741421518061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3892751680998801705.post-61727332759671799062016-02-10T10:52:51.883-08:002016-02-10T10:52:51.883-08:00Okay, so I feel your pain on the problem of the lo...Okay, so I feel your pain on the problem of the local public library being insufficient. I even live in a major city with a huge public library system, and there are a few books on my to-read list that I fear I'll never read because the library doesn't have it, and I don't want to buy it. Does your library have any sort of library-loan service with another library system? That could be a good way to get books. Luckily for me, my library does seem to have somewhat of a budget, because they've purchased two books I've requested in the past, but wait lists are still forever long, and there are never enough audio and digital licenses, etc. But congratulations on the recent boon, looks like some good ones (a few I'm waiting on myself). Happy reading!Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727226129280965650noreply@blogger.com
