Our library is great! They are part of an interlibrary loan system. If they don't have a book (or movie, DVD, CD or anything), you can request it and they will get it for you from anywhere in the country! Free! It's fabulous.
Ours does interlibrary loans, but I believe it's only within the state...so not so great. They also tend to only have newish books when it comes to novels...I like old mysteries for one, so it's frustrating. I end up buying a lot more books than I borrow from a library. Then I end up with piles and boxes and boxes and piles of books I've read and probably won't read again for awhile. My house is a nightmare, I'm afraid!
Some things I pawn off on my Dad since he likes similar stuff, but he does the same to me, so that doesn't help!
