i just checked the Toronto system: 2559 holds / 248 copies -- nm - Andie Jun 4, 08:35
Thats ridiculous there should be a limit on number of holds -- nm - eag Jun 4, 08:28 11
- Not sure what you mean. There's no limit. -- nm - mara Jun 4, 08:30 10
  - Meaning once it gets to a certain number dont allow any more holds - eag Jun 4, 08:32 9
    - That's terrible customer service though. I mean, not being able to borrow a book right away is part of being a library customer. Being told that you - Roger More, future Prime Minister of Canada Jun 4, 08:46 5
      - so then spend the 10 bucks and buy it then! - groiny Jun 4, 08:51 4
        
        Yeah and who knows what the condition of a copy will be after 10, 20 or 30 checkouts. -- nm - bc/nc Jun 4, 08:56 2
        
        pages stuck together, paragraphs highlighted - Epiphany Jun 4, 08:56 1
        
        what is that bleach smell? nm -- nm - groiny Jun 4, 09:00
        
        That's the way to run a library! -- nm - Roger More, future Prime Minister of Canada Jun 4, 08:54
    - Since having more holds doesn't have any negative consequences whatsover, that's not something any library would ever do. Plus, the number of holds - mara Jun 4, 08:37
    - why? i mean, if you want to wait, you can wait. there are also probably LOTS of copies. -- nm - Andie Jun 4, 08:33 1
      - Well yeah it would depend on the number of copies -- nm - eag Jun 4, 08:38
it is really, REALLY racy for a library - I wonder if Walmart is stocking these? - Epiphany Jun 4, 08:27 15
- my library has plenty of books as racy as that. -- nm - loosilu Jun 4, 08:41
- mine had it. -- nm - kelly Jun 4, 08:31 11
  - I'm not judging but the fact that Walmart censors albums but sells these is a bit hypocritical - Epiphany Jun 4, 08:33 10
    - Is it really that racy? -- nm - kelly Jun 4, 08:34 9
      - yes - penthouse letters has nothing on this. the only word they refuse to use is: P - Epiphany Jun 4, 08:45
      - it's garden variety fanfic level porn. -- nm - loosilu Jun 4, 08:42 4
        
        you've read it? i admit i'm surprised US Walmart would carry it. -- nm - Andie Jun 4, 08:43 3
        
        As long as nobody complains, they're all too happy to sell racy books and CDs. -- nm - David, neutral Jun 4, 09:01 1
        
        And sometimes when someone complains, they happily sell even more -- nm - con_carne Jun 4, 09:18
        
        someone posted a digest of the dirty parts here. -- nm - loosilu Jun 4, 08:44
      - from all accounts I've heard - yup. -- nm - Diva Jun 4, 08:36
      - it's straight up porn, really. and other than that it's frickin' boring. they have the same conversation about 8 million times. - Andie Jun 4, 08:36 1
        
        Huh. Okay. -- nm - kelly Jun 4, 08:42
- Think I saw it there - eag Jun 4, 08:28 1
  - ditto -- nm - Beaker Jun 4, 08:29
so you're ordering 131 more shades? -- nm - zork Jun 4, 08:25
