Hi Holly-
As one who fully uses the interlibrary system and has since I was a
kid, I have a suggestion.  Also, my husband is the town librarian
here.  Try calling the state library in Lansing.  I am thinking there
may be a way that the local library is not willing to tell you as it
is a lot of work for them.  Here in Vermont the librarian gets on the
state library Web site and can search the entire state for  a book.
Sometimes it takes quite a while to find it.  Some libraries do loans
for free (the receiving library) and some charge for postage.

I'ld be mad too.  When Bob worked at the University of Iowa library I
had a field day.  I could log on at home and search U of I as well as
many other university libraries.  He could request the books at work
and we could keep for up to 6 months if they were not requested by
someone else.  I pulled a lot of very unusual books as a result.  Now
I don't have the database to search.

Good luck.

Jane
