Nope. The local library (the only public library on the island) says they won't do them, and I bet they're not in place in this country - the Bahamas - at all. But I knew what I was getting into when I moved (I visited and scoped out the library), and when I weeded my book collection, I made sure to keep most of my SF and F. So it's not like I don't have lots to read.
I miss being able to read anything I want to, anytime I want to, though. I moved from an area in Ontario that has a great library system, and even so I used to request one or two ILLs every month. Part of the fun was seeing where the books were coming from - usually from Ontario, but once from the Yukon, and once from Nfld.
This should be get me to actually read the books I own, too. I used to buy books and never get around to reading them, because library books were always a priority, and I wasn't very well going to stop using the library.

Thanks for the Delany tip. :)
