Interlibrary Loan isn’t available everywhere (at least back when I used to work at a library ~10 years ago it wasn’t). If it is, it often has an associated fee (usually at least shipping fees, sometimes an additional service fee). I think the common exception to that is public university libraries.

University libraries, however, will pull from pretty much everywhere, and they have access to a ton of online academic resources.
you can, however, go to your local library and read any book ever written for free
