Bismillah,

Thanks Angel.  That included all of our little library system's interloan capabilities!  I'll keep it in mind for the future, ISA.

So I am reading a collections of works by Khalil Gibran.  I recognize a lot of it, and it is worth reading for the sympathetic hearted soul.

I also noticed a book  I had picked up for a quarter some time ago that is also capitivating.  The Plague by Camus.  It's about Oran and a disaster that is represented by an invasion of rats.

You should be able to put in a request for the book to be purchased this will be on that if it will be variable to have and/or if your library offers this service - an interloan request, this is where libraries have a system that they borrow books from other libraries for their patrons but this will incur a small fee from the patron.
