But for at least 2 of the books I was 2nd and 3rd - I really am finding it hard to accept that they magically become available as soon as I leave my home. It's almost like someone is watching me. The first 3 emails came while I was on my 2 hour flight!
However this time I was prepared! I had a copy of all my user name logins and passwords (I belong to 4 different libraries) and so I was able to log in and checkout the books without downloading them.

Now there's an idea. This always seems to happen to me too. I was in a queue of 73 once at the Philadelphia Library and it came up when I was on holiday and checked my email. Very annoying. When I got back (late Oct 2010) I put my name back down, I finally came to the top of the list again only last week!
I didn't even think about checking it out and not downloading it, but will do this in the future, as long as I remember to take my Overdrive login details. Thanks for the heads up.
