Re library borrowing--since the nominations are supposed to be at least a year old or thereabouts, doesn't that keep wait times down at most libraries? My experience may not be typical, as two of my three library systems are huge and well-stocked, but I've rarely seen a wait time of more than a couple of weeks.

issybird has already pretty much answered this, and in much the same way I would have. But as for libraries, I have access to two very different libraries -- one a Provincial wide library, and one a major, tech-heavy metropolitan-area library where they routinely PASS bond issues to support the libraries. And yet, I've often had to wait 2-4 weeks to get a book. Which is why I automatically get on the waiting list as soon as a book is nominated. I don't wait for its selection. And I still sometimes have to buy a book. Which, as a retired person, is no longer trivial.
