[CASL-L] Follett Frustration

[Estevez, Celeste]

I really like Mackin, but timeliness is not a strength. Expect at least 4-6
weeks for an order. They were slow before Covid but the pandemic has really
made it worse. Quick turnaround and good pricing is B&N, but no processing.
JLG is also quick, but same issue as far as I know.

Interested to hear if you find any other options.
