This seems to me a textbook example of cutting off your nose to spite your face. I can't imagine it's in the best interest of their borrowers, or that the borrowers will be happy about this. Wouldn't it make more sense to start the three-month waiting period at the end of the two-month hiatus on buying?

But then, I've not been able to get exercised about this. Library books in high demand require waiting. Read something else in the meantime. I think this has distracted libraries from more pressing issues myself involving licenses myself.
