I think I would miss PINES if I ever left Georgia. The nearest library is tiny, but I can have any of 10 million books delivered to it. And if the system doesn't have it, they appreciate and respond to requests.
- downut 3y agoWe moved from AZ to suburban Atlanta last year, and were familiar with interlibrary loan for rural libraries in AZ. But wow! PINES is sensational. We get books and DVDs, even some BluRays from all over GA. Been watching The Wire again, it's great. And the inventory isn't censored either. I started a reread of Gravity's Rainbow and that came from Carrolton (college town). Certain gory/raunchy murder mystery series come from the oddest places. Series like Game of Thrones. And highbrow academic stuff like Anne Hollander. Reminds me I got to log on and extend a couple of titles. But yeah, we still buy dead tree books, occasionally, from Amazon, but only if we want to keep them. It turns out PINES is great for that, too. Just put it on hold, review it in person, and if it's actually good, buy it.
