Barb,

Thanks for sharing that info.

My library has the system of checking on the computer to see if the book is
on the shelf, or whether I have to put a hold on it. If it is on the shelf
at another branch in the county, I just have to put a hold on it & it will
be at my branch in a day or two. However, I didn't know anything about
requesting a book that was not available. I'll have to look into that.
Afterall, I am one of their most active patrons. {smile}

Suzy
