Leslie - for future reference, the website of your public library says it offers Interlibrary Loans (ILL). I use ILL quite often at our little community library and it is a great service. I suspect that lots of folks are not aware of it. It's easy too - just ask the librarian there and she will give you the request form. Just fill it out and turn it in. Some books are found within days and other times it may take weeks but only if the book is hard to find. Over the years, I have never requested a book that could not be loaned out...I have not used it to get books that are checked out from my library - but rather for pretty much any book in print that is not available there at your branch. They get them from schools, universities, other libraries large and small. (whatever networks are available to them) The Wichita Falls site says they charge $2 per book for postage (free here but maybe Ohio has better funding)

Anyway - I thought you might like to know about this and maybe try it out sometime. I absolutely LOVE public libraries - probably because I used to work in one when I was in college. The library is probably my very favorite place to hide out and has been since I was a girl. Would you try it out? Eventually you may enjoy bringing Quinn for story hours, etc.

I am very happy to read that cookiebaker had the book you were wanting and already has it in the mail. ILL would likely have taken much longer. Enjoy reading! The book sounds like a good one
