Comments on: The Secret to Reserving New Movies and Books at the Library http://daddyforever.com/2009/09/22/polaris-library-systems/ a blog about being a dad Thu, 09 Sep 2010 21:38:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Daddy Forever http://daddyforever.com/2009/09/22/polaris-library-systems/comment-page-1/#comment-75977 Daddy Forever Tue, 29 Sep 2009 19:57:09 +0000 http://daddyforever.com/?p=2124#comment-75977 Our library ordered over 90 copies (some of them are not holdable). The wait is still very long and it would probably take about a year. I think we have a lot of hold requests because people can easily request it online. Plus our unemployment rate is over 12%.

I can't believe, though, how long your line is for reservations of new books. If I was #645, I think I would give up. I mean, for a 3 week check out, we are talking a little over 4 years before you can read it. That is an accomplishment to be # 4. I too love the public library. As a matter of fact, I just got back from there a couple of hours ago. I tend to check out whats in stock though. -Jason .-= The Devoted Dad´s last blog ..<a href="http://thedevoteddad.com/2009/09/happy-fall-part-ii/" rel="nofollow">Happy Fall Part II</a> =-.

It just that if I wait, several hundreds people would be ahead of me on the hold list and that would mean I wouldn't get the book for several months - maybe even a year.

Seems like you really wanted that book. That's what I call some serious persistence. I wonder who the 3 people ahead of you were and how they managed that considering your ninja like book reserving skills :-) .-= Keith Wilcox´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.almightydad.com/behavior/is-chivalry-dead/" rel="nofollow">Is Chivalry Dead?</a> =-.

But you have to be lucky and be there at the right time. Our library also has a non-holdable section for the popular books and movies. But you have to be lucky and be there at the right time.

I am one who thinks the library is only for story hour and children's books. And yes the good books are usually gone when I do venture over to the adult section. And I never think to look for DVD's or CD's there. And our public library is within walking distance from my house. .-= peepnroosmom´s last blog ..<a href="http://peepandroosmom.blogspot.com/2009/08/two-weeks-of-school-under-our-belt.html" rel="nofollow">Two weeks of school under our belt.</a> =-.

For week, I came home with seven novels and five DVDs. Too bad I only have about ten days to pick them up before I lose my place on the request list. Sometimes I'm too good.

I LOVED The Lost Symbol. I thanked my husband again for spoiling me with my Kindle that kept from any wait or any traveling to get my hands on. How great that you've nailed the reservations element of your library. I hope your wait is short!
