Dear Kimberly,

Before you give up on the libraries, check to see if any of them in your area are part of a COOPERATIVE system. This is where your library can request a book from another library, either in their district or nationally. You usually pay a small fee for the request. Another thing your might do is to check at a nearby UNIVERSITY library and see if there is a way you can check out the book or perhaps look at it and make copies of some of the pages for your research.
