    Phone books from outside my region were available at the library; that place where they store a consolidated collection of books for just anyone to sign out and use.

      I once used one to look up my friend from summer camp. He lived in New York City and I didn’t live anywhere close

      Library had a bunch of NYC phonebooks

      I don’t remember that, however it doesn’t surprise me at least for a radius around your area. I’d be surprised if they had all of them from all the states

        You could just have them borrow one from whatever other library had it. Hell, you could just call the phone company and order the one you want yourself. Fuck, you could just call 411 and have them look it up for you right then.
