Haven't read The Casual Vacancy, but it's on my to-read list not so much because Rowling! as because depressing and infuriating council shenanigans!
I feel your pain about getting manga from local libary systems. Mine makes it possible to request specific volumes... if they happen to have that volume, and it's not missing or being repaired or w/e. Their copy of Fullmetal Alchemist v4 is currently being repaired, for example. And I know that when I get to v6 I'm going to have to go to a different library system because they just don't have it. (Doesn't everyone have a library card for four different library systems in their city?)
