A couple of waiting to be purchased books at my local library are currently showing massive wait times since the calculation is based on 1 copy and a 21 day loan period. This will change once the library purchases the book since they tend to purchase multiple copies for long wait time books. One recent purchase which I was interested in went from a 62 week wait time to a 10 week wait time and shows 0 of 6 copies available. One other book which my spouse was interested in now shows a 6 week wait time with 0 of 13 copies available. The library is part of a consortium so most of the smaller libraries in the province will show the same results. Another library that is not part of the consortium shows 14 copies with 110 holds so about a 16 week wait time on the second book.

I feel I should mention that none of those books are available for Amazon format loans since I am not a resident of the USA.
