No, it's an old book.
I'm going to wait a few more days and then email an inquiry about it. Tomorrow will be 21 days so maybe it was a glitch in the Kindle lending system of some kind, and someone, somehow got a 21 day loan. This was the very next day after the Kindle lending program officially went live, after all.

The fact that it's happened to others offers quite a bit of comfort.
I'll assume you
eventually got the book?

That may be it! The consortium my library belongs to (which allows 21 day lending) is actually a
member of the library where I joined the waiting list (and has a 14 day max). But so far, they've behaved as two separate entities with two separate inventories.
