Inter-Library Loan possibility makes young boy happy

On Friday, a young boy (he's about 7, I'd say) asked me if we carry any of the Sonic the Hedgehog comic books.  I checked the catalog and told him that we do not.  He lamented that he really wants to read them, but his family can't afford to buy them for him.  I told him about Inter-Library Loans and that we could probably get these books for him for free from another library.  His eyes literally sparkled with excitement and possibility.  A few minutes after he left the Teen Department, his mother came over to ask about the ILL process, so I explained it to her and got her started with our Firstsearch database and ILL forms.
