On hold

I'm not sure how many people know about a truly amazing service that our county library system offers. You can go online (http://www.ccls.org/), search the catalog, reserve a book and have it sent to the library that's most convenient for you. You'll get an email when it arrives, and you have five days to go to the library and pick it up. No extra charge!
I put "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett on hold and it arrived in only four days -- and it's a bestseller. I'm impressed. (By the way, it's an excellent and entertaining book, and very timely for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.)
One caveat, though: on my computer, the county library website doesn't function very well using Internet Explorer, but it works perfectly with Mozilla Firefox.
