Stunning thought I know. I had just reread the first three books of the Pelbar Cycle series. I've owned them for a number of years and just decided to read them again. But after finishing the third one I decided that I wanted to finish the series. My first thought was to use my Mturk earnings to purchase the books on Amazon. But I've been saving that money for a power washer. It then occurred to me that I might be able to find them at the local library.
I jumped on the Internet and navigated to the library's website and searched the catalog for Pelbar. I did get a hit for the first book in the series. But not the rest. I noticed that they offered inter-library loans. After clicking that link and doing another search I found book four at a university library that I could request it sent to my local library. Very cool...now all I needed was a library card.
I stopped by on my way to the grocery store and signed up for the card. While I was there I browsed the stacks and found a Tom Clancy book that I had not read. I checked it out and requested book four from the Pelbar Cycle. It may be a while before I spend money on my reading habit again.
