Interlibrary Loan of the day


Captain ILL usually limits his evil stomping to dry land; when you're undersea, it can be very difficult to get a good stomp going due to water resistance. Unfortunately, evil can be pretty uncooperative, and it's necessary to follow it wherever it may lead. The last time Captain ILL had an adventure under the waves was a couple years ago when he got a call from his old friend Hydrodude. It's a long, complicated story, but suffice it to say that the Captain learned how hard it is to stomp a Carcharodon Carcharias from the inside. Beneath the Seven Seas doesn't really address all the evil creatures living in the oceans, but it does have lots of cool pictures which is almost as good in the Captain's eyes.

So, is there any way for SRV staff to get a gander at cool books like this before they go home? Or do we just have to ILL ourselves?

Sometimes the ILL of the day is a book that's coming in, and sometimes it's a book that's going out. This, unfortunately, was a book going out, so it's already on its way home. Of course you are always welcome to ILL it yourself, and if it gets ILLed enough, it will end up on the frequently requested list, and if it gets ILLed even more, it may actually get purchased some day.

Or I can just request it from my neighborhood library system! They've got three copies ;)
