if your library doesn't carry a book you'd like to read, make a recommendation (there's often a form for this on your library's website)! not only will you hopefully get to read said book, others will also be able to check it out too!

You can also request books for your library through Libby! They added 10 copies of one I requested not long ago and it only took a couple of weeks after my request!
I can't find a book now that my library doesn't have 😂
But if I remember right, you can click the "notify me if this book becomes available in my library" button if you search for a book yours doesn't have. Then you get a message that says your library has been anonymously notified it is wanted.
Then it says they may or may not get it but they will get it notification. Then a couple of weeks later I got a message they'd gotten 10 copies of both the audiobook and ebook of the book I'd notified them about.
Also a lot of libraries have partnerships with other libraries across county lines. Libby allows you to add other library cards which can greatly expand your reading options while supporting even more libraries
