No, our county's library system has lots of library buildings but very few books - fairly rural. The next county over is very affluent and has a much better system.
My problem w/ ILL is that I can't get to the library in time to pick up the books when they come in because I live so far away from a branch. I'm right in the corner of 3 counties and no one builds a library at the edge of the county.
And, I totally miss the experience of being able to browse shelf after shelf of books.
