You don't need to buy the Sookie books or the anthologies -just get them from your library

I was glad Amy brought up ILL in her review of Dead until Dark.

Did you not know what that was ? ILL = Inter Library Loan.

You can ask your library to get you most anything held at any other library in the United States - No, I am not kidding. There is a cooperative agreement between most lending libraries public and private in this country to share materials.

Now you probably won't need to utilize ILL to get a copy of one of the Sookie books but you might need to use it to get one of the more obscure anthologies to read one of the short stories.

You do not need to buy the books your public library has probably bought extra Charlaine Harris book copies and you can probably put the book on reserve ( maybe even on online) and you will be notified when its ready for you to pick it up and when you pick it up you can put the next book(s) on request.

Do you not know where you closest library is? you can find it here by your zip code

You can find out where books are located in what libraries through out your state or even the whole world by using WoldCat

There also may be other great things happening at you library ; they might be doing a display on vampires or vampire literature, they might have a book group that you can join and request that they read a Sookie mystery or maybe the have a Bulletin Board where you could post a note asking if anyone else would be interested in starting a Sookie book club ...

Either way ..dust off you library card and go check out your local library branch today-you will be pleasantly suprised.
