"The Pirate Bay, on the other hand, requires you to type in a search term, click on a download button, and wait a little while" This is basically how it works at my local library, I search on their website, click "Request to my local branch", wait a while, and then it's there for me to pickup. I can't imagine the NY Public library is much worse.
