I had missed this post previously and read it today. Your writing style has great clarity and I learn something each time I read. Our local library is cooperatively aligned with the seven counties in the metro area. The new year brings with it inspiration to have a reading goal as you described. The county inter-library system transferred holds from other libraries and I am in the middle of a fiction sci-fi short story book as a result. Your Newsletter has "poked me" to take advantage of the services so thanks. We are fortunate in my area as the seven counties are reciprocal although I only have cards for my county and the two large metro counties. I occasionally use the WorldCat system for oddball books and unusual reequests. I have been able to get books from libraries through that cooperative network. I bet that lots of library systems grant access to WorldCat to their users and it can help you find most anything. Probably not eBooks though :)

Thank you so much for this information. We live in a van (no real permanent address) and have a podcast that requires research. Buying all of those research materials for the e-reader can get out-of-hand. This is a perfect solution!!
