Where do you live?!? I'd certainly like to know which public
library gives such poor service to its patrons.
Interlibrary loan is a standard service to patrons of
the Chicago Public Library, and to most patrons of the
various suburban libraries. Lots of college libraries have it
as an option too, so, if you still live close to your alma
mater, and you're in the alumni association, maybe you can
use them.
