Our public library, as I mentioned in a previous post, has closed for the pandemic. I did checkout a last armful of books (one hour before they closed), so I can stave off withdrawal for, I don't know, three days?
But good news! The library has a Request Purchase button. So I requested a book I have had on my wish list for a while now, Death in the Rainforest, and this morning the librarian in charge of purchases emailed me and said they had bought it.
Plus! Not only are they buying a hardcopy, they're buying an ecopy, and it will be available sometime today.
Public libraries are the best.
