Finally managed to lie my way into a library card. Discovered that, no, there isn't an interlibrary loan system---where you can borrow books from other libraries---that, yes, if I want a book not in stock, I can visit the reference people and ask them to find it somewhere nearby. But---get this---*I* get to *pay* for the nearby library to ship it over.

Bloody unbelievable. Not to mention unacceptable. This is an affluent town. They should have an *amazing* library. They should have an interlibrary loan. At the very bleeding least, they should not force their patrons to pay to receive books. I can't even use my library card at the next-town-over's library.

>>Insert inarticulate roar of rage here<<

Too bad the Week of the Killer Quizzes can't kill the library for me. Sigh.

( Per сестра's request...I had a time finding it... )
