The Toronto Public Library has greatly increased its holdings in the past six months and now has multiple copies of some books. Some have wait times, some don't. That's the way it is with libraries. I am guessing the enhanced commitment of funds toward its ebook collection is driven by user demand. In fact, it has brought me back to being a regular library patron for the first time in ... nearly forty years. How's that for meeting your public service mandate?
I have no idea how to calculate the number you have, FBone. I wasn't clear on your point either: are lack of wait times evidence of wasted budgets and lack of Overdrive appeal? Are you suggesting Indianapolis's collection is mis-managed vs New Jersey's because wait times for patrons is lower in Indiana?
