I went to the library this evening, and happened to stop by the New Fiction shelf. They had Brick Lane and The Dark Tower V. The 2nd was only just released a couple of weeks ago :-) And Freeport library (where I'd gone) doesn't restrict the new fiction to local patrons only, so I could get both of them.
I love libraries :) I especially love Long Island public libraries that are open till 9pm during the week. We may pay stupidly high property taxes, but at least we get something for the money.
