You may doubt such a place exists, but the Multnomah County Library checks out.

This is a @multcolib.bsky.social appreciation post. I request stuff on ILL not totally getting how it works & the library has emailed & SNAIL MAILED me the thing because they own it already. Part of the reason I can be a working writer with no institutional affiliation is bc of this amazing library.
