The hold at one of my libraries is >6 months. At the other, it was 8 weeks when this was first nominated. I have no idea what's on Disney+, they won't get a nickel of my money, but if it's there, that might explain it.

No worries for me. It has already come up again for me to borrow. And, even if it had not, I can get it to read on my iPad or audio immediately through non-Overdrive sources.

Usually when you get a bunch coming available all at once, it's because the library has realized a title is popular and bought several more copies. Or, it's because they've bought books you've recommended. For some libraries, I suspect July 1 is a new fiscal year, or at least a new quarter, so they either have to spend some money quickly towards the end of June, or they suddenly have fresh funds at the start of July.

My libraries have been on a buying spree ever since the lockdown started. Especially foreign language and children's books, books about pandemics, and books about racism and black history. Plus they've kept up with new releases. It's been a reading feast! |

I finish Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief today and it kind of ends on a cliffhanger.

My library hold came through early and I also finished it this evening. We are not amused.

Not was I, but we'll save all that for the 15th.
