Well, I used to be a member of the Seminole Public Library System while living in Oviedo, FL. I do baseball research and used the library quite heavily in my research.
So does the XXX Public Library System (whatever county it is in) have the same amenities? ILL services, microfilm readers, etc. My reason for asking is I called them up once and asked "someone" about an accession number for a microfilmed newspaper and they sounded like I wanted to know the subatomic particle number for nuclear fission.
I mean ..... HELLO? I've never worked in a library in my life but have been doing research since I was in junior high school. I do know a smidgeon about what ILL entails.
I also have about $1000 worth of outdated (for me anyway) research books, etc I wanted to donate to their reference section. Their reply was, they couldn't use them, but would be happy to take them for an outside book sale!!
It's been almost two years and I still can't get over the feeling this place is run by Homer and Jethro. Don't know where they went to "librarian school", but I feel they might want to take another stab at it.
