When the library is not your friend…

Why do all the holds come in at the same time? Why must I work for a living? 😩😩

Ruthiella I feel you! That pesky job! 😫 12mo

Dilara I feel for you ⏳ 12mo

Amiable Even when I try to strategically stagger my requests, they STILL all come at once! I don‘t know how it happens that way, but it always does. 😖 (edited) 12mo

DGRachel @Amiable I was #200 or so on one of the books in transit. I was so sure I had at least three months before it was ready! 12mo

Chelsea.Poole Hi 👋 library employee here — depending on how your system works, you may get prioritized by your home branch/books owned by that branch. That‘s how it works in my neck of the woods 😊 12mo

rabbitprincess I totally get this, having just picked up 5 holds from the library 🤣 12mo

mom_of_4 Mine does the same thing. I have like 12 at home and 3 in transit. Like omg i can only read so darn fast lol. 12mo

DGRachel @Come-read-with-me It‘s only open for quick pick up of online holds, but it‘s been closed for renovations since November 2019 and I‘m looking forward to being able to check out print books from my branch again. 💖 4y

😭 😭I know this is technically a good thing, but NOOOO!!!!!! It won't reopen until Winter 2021 and the nearest branch is more than twice as far from my house. 😭 😭

If you need me, I'll be curled up under my blanket fort, sobbing, rocking myself back and forth.

MidnightBookGirl I am so sorry! I know how bad this sucks! 5y

NeeSwee Oh no! So sorry! 😭 5y

Graciouswarriorprincess I“m so sorry!!! :( 5y

I love my library. I went to pick up my holds today and stopped by the reference desk to donate the fine waivers I earned through their summer break reading program. I learned they DO have prizes for completing the program! How cool is this recycled notebook? Also, if you are a mystery fan, Crime Writers of Color on Twitter (@CrimeWoC) has a site and spreadsheet of recommendations. Both of these books are from that site: books2read.com/rl/cwoc

DivineDiana Very cool! 😎 5y

alisiakae I chose the car magnet! 5y

DGRachel @4thhouseontheleft I am such a sucker for notebooks, I didn't even look at the magnets, and it's a brilliant blue which is my favorite color. It's almost like it was made just for me. 😂 5y
