I like to recommend WorlCat for finding books and other materials at your local public and academic libraries. Just do your search, enter your zip code, and WorldCat will tell you which library has the books and materials for checkout near you: http://www.worldcat.org/account/?page=searchItems

I am a retired public librarian with an interest in local history, genealogy, narrative journalism, and archiving. I read a lot of fiction and enjoy small coastal towns, sometimes at the same time, which is my idea of heaven. In my spare time I write poetry and short stories, do collage with old images, enjoy classical and big band swing music, and peruse retro/vintage home, advertising, fruit label, postcard, ephemera, and fashion sites. All of these interests keep me out of trouble. (Well, at least most of the time.)
