Hey! I'm the Librarian at a "Dorky little Library". We're open 3 days a
week. If you want ILL, go to the larger branch in your area. Get a card.
Give them the ISBN numbers of what you want (check the Library of Congress
search vehicles) and let them work at it. I was able to get copies of
Cookbooks from as far away as Virginia, Washington State, and Kentucky (I'm
in the Northern Poconos, about 75-80 Miles from NYC). With a good record,
sympathetic librarian, and luck, they'll let you get more and more exotic in
your requests, and may even mail them to your "Dorky Little Library", giving
you more time to look at them.

Dorky Indeed.
