As an aside, I wish Philly hadn't gone back to a three-week checkout period. It really drags out a waiting list. I have nothing to back it up, but my sense is that most people let their books expire, rather than returning them once read. I hope I'm wrong.

The same thing happened with one of the Harry Potter books some yrs back. Everyone and his/her brother/sister seemed to want to read it and I don't know if I ever did get my chance before giving up on waiting and buying a copy of my own.
