I was so mad earlier today that I lost my appetite (and that is rare for me)
I don't get why my library only loses my reservations when it's a book I'm dying to read.
There is a book that is the final book of a series that came out this week. Since my library has not currently computerized suggestions I know that it happens that sometimes the reservations get lost.
So since I reserved this book 6 months ago and since I have been waiting to read this book I went to my library last week to verify that they had my reservation and to find out what place I was in for the book. She found it and told me i was first.
So I keep checking my library's website every hour. And they got the book yesterday and it was able to be taken out today.
So I look in my account. And not only am I not first but the book does not even show up in my account. And they gave it to someone else.
So I call and am put on hold for a long while. They can't even find my reservation.
Finally they find it and say i reserved it June 10th and some other unknown person reserved it June 2nd and they took it out 15 minute after it was processed. Does this even make sense? I doubt anyone else is as obsessive as I am. And where did this reservation magically come from? It wasn't there last week (or it was misplaced).
I know it's only a book. But I've spent all week reading about other people reading this book. If my library had told me I was second or twentieth I would have accepted it. But to tell me I am first (I would normally always be first for a book I reserved 6 months ago unless it was hugely popular) and then have me checking and checking. And then for me to go there and they have the reservation. And then today suddenly it was lost ... well I hope this person is a fast reader.
