Field notes
BorrowBell’s sample comparison separates a copy available now at Huntington Beach Public Library from a Riverside copy with an estimated three-week wait and another with four people ahead. Visitors can borrow partner-library copies in Libby, but cannot place holds there, so availability is first-come, first-served. The page reports 32,946 items at Riverside alone and 78,129 across its 17 partners, with counts measured October 30, 2026.
