I would hazzard a guess that most do. Also, you can make requests for DVDs/books to your library and they will usually put you first on the borrow list for when they get it in.

I was basing my comments on three cities in three western provinces which all had similar systems. Hence my thoughts that most libraries function with inter-library loans. It appears there are some that don't. On a related note I was reading that the library system in SK in getting an upgrade soon. Soon I will be able to use my Regina card in any library in the province to borrow materials and also drop them off in any library. I didn't realize we are that advanced. Tim Kim,

It's too bad that this is not universal. It is even more necessary in small towns as there is less to do!

I live in a small (Canadian) community and we have a small library with a lousy selection of DVD's/videos and NO inter-library loan. Don't assume that YOUR library system equates to those in other communities in Canada!
