It appears we do (the system is terrible and might kill me lol)

I’m wondering if your state has something similar to Link+, which is like an interlibrary loan except that you can request the book yourself, rather than having a library do it on your behalf. (They threaten you with scarily high fines if the book is late or missing, but other than that it’s pretty cool…)

Ah, yes. I use Overdrive sometimes but my library system rarely has any books about sex. Boo! Just too conservative of an area, I think (not a problem you’d have in California). It’s not available in any of the major metro areas in this state, unsurprising.

I actually never search from Overdrive’s main site because I need to know what’s available to me, but it sounds like maybe your library system works differently than mine. I have made many recommendations and think two were ever picked up. =/
I’ve taken to signing into a friend’s Hoopla account and also pay for a subscription to Scribd.

I found it as an ebook through the OverDrive system (which also has a newer interface called Libby, which I haven’t used), though sometimes Axis360 is good for some of the Cleis titles. Best bet is to go to OverDrive’s main site, search for a title, click on the book thumbnail and then search for libraries that have it in your state. (The California listings are pretty sprawling, and sometimes I get disappointed by clicking “in libraries nearby” and finding Southern California listings only, which are nowhere near me. Being in a smaller state may help.) Also, you’d be surprised at how often a library will respond to “suggest a purchase” requests. My hometown is pretty small, but because of library grants they’ve got a lot of money to spend and take a lot of suggestions. (Of course, the librarians are all nosy people who’ve known my parents forever and would gossip about my sexy requests, so I tend to take those out of town…)

Your library has Tell Me What You Want already?!?! I don’t live in a place where they’d EVER get it. Bah!
