Shorter wait times, I can believe, because there are few titles easily discovered by means other than a direct author/title search.
At the Brooklyn 3M collection, I just tried clicking on Advanced Search. The single search box is unchanged, with the only "Advanced" feature being the opportunity to click one of these:
Include books not in library
Books available to check out
Books owned by library
If you can afford $50 a year, I would
join the Brooklyn library. They have both Overdrive and 3M.
I do occasionally read a 3M book. Twice, to my recollection, I have searched for a book within a couple days of release, and gotten it from Brooklyn's 3M collection immediately.
