[Sca-librarians] looking for a book

[Fiadnata]

Greetings,

Actually, often DoD libraries will lend to public libraries, esp. if 
it's a public library within their state -- I know we do. (In fact, 
having lived in both Michigan and Kentucky for so long, I'll often 
lend to public libraries in those states, as well.) And federal/DoD 
libraries are not allowed to charge for interlibrary loans to other 
libraries.

The only things our library is hesitant to lend are older books in 
dubious condition (we have quite a few of those since we have 
existed, in one form or another, since 1919) and technical reports. 
For technical reports, we refer people to NTIS, where they can 
purchase copies.
