Inter-library loan .. it just means that you're reading requirements are above... - OAE Jun 9, 12:51 2
- it's not in the catalog to request at either library. -- nm - amanda jones Jun 9, 12:52
- Um. No. It was released two days ago. Many libraries don't list items until they are processed or don't purchase in advance. -- nm - Amy Jun 9, 12:52
mine doesn't either! -- nm - Andie Jun 9, 12:36
It just came out on Tuesday I think. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 9, 12:35 20
- fwiw, I voted for it and ordered it when I did. -- nm - b. Jun 9, 12:55 5
  - when did I become a person who refuses to pay for books? when will my logicboard be fixed so I can have new books? how many times can I read - amanda jones Jun 9, 13:04 4
    - I usually wait a while, but I've been working stupid much and felt a little splurgy. plus gift card, woo. -- nm - b. Jun 9, 13:16 1
      - it's weird how *all over the place* I am bus-commuting. everything is on my way somewhere. -- nm - amanda jones Jun 9, 13:20
    - my ereader is out for repair. i thought it might come back today - alas, it has not. - Andie Jun 9, 13:09 1
      - we should get you access to my books. remind me *as soon as I have a new machine,* ok? -- nm - amanda jones Jun 9, 13:12
- maj is in a time zone days behind? -- nm - Spawn Jun 9, 12:36 13
  - Broke libraries are! We only got 5 copies. -- nm - Amy Jun 9, 12:37 12
    - serious question: how big is your city? your library's city, i mean. where's mara, too? mara, do you have the book? - amanda jones Jun 9, 12:52 11
      - my city has 99 branches and it's not listed yet! -- nm - Andie Jun 9, 12:58 4
        
        I'm pretty sure TPL doesn't display on order titles. I might be wrong. -- nm - Amy Jun 9, 13:05 3
        
        i'm not sure - i know it let me request Bossypants before it was released. but maybe they anticipated on that one? -- nm - Andie Jun 9, 13:08 2
        
        do I need to read bossypants? you guys are information withholders!! -- nm - amanda jones Jun 9, 13:12 1
        
        i like Tina Fey, so i liked it. it's very... her voice. -- nm - Andie Jun 9, 13:18
      - What's the book? -- nm - mara Jun 9, 12:54 4

        :-( We don't even have it on order. We're a system of 8 libraries serving about 175,000, to answer your question about size. -- nm - mara Jun 9, 13:07 2
        
        Did you see the article about the system who decided not to buy any midlist? Just frontlist to I think a 2/1 hold ratio. That's their budget solutio -- nm - Amy Jun 9, 13:09 1
        
        Yoicks. -- nm - mara Jun 9, 13:14
      - 23 branches and a couple bookmobiles. Our population is ~900,000 and we have ~200,000 cardholders. -- nm - Amy Jun 9, 12:53
