I've noticed this message on the FLP site as well. What happened? Did a computer have a malfunction and spew out thousands of emails? More likely, someone hacked into an Overdrive server and faked a lot of false notifications. Ah, I long for the early days of ebooks, where there were fewer people reserving books. Now the waiting lists take several months to wind down. Don't you dare take a vacation, because you may get a notice that you cannot respond to in time. Then you have to get in the queue again, and wait till next season. Drats.
