I wonder what would happen if someone dropped the wrong book in and then managed to fish it out.

At my library that would require breaking and entering. The opening is smallish and the scanning takes place on a conveyor belt moving somewhat quickly.

The old library was torn down about twelve years ago and the replacement opened about six years ago. The return system is mostly well done. The website is farmed out and the vendor has changed a few time. I've never particularly liked any of them and none of them seem to integrate well with everything else.

Oh, the perfectly accessible library in my town was torn down because it was blocking the view of a "historical" building. They moved it to that building, which was made supposedly "accessible" by retrofitting it with an elevator that makes terrifying noises.

Accessibility in my province, or really anywhere in Canada, is... not great. We don't have anything on par with the ADA. There's an Accessible Canada Act but it's limited in scope and not even enforced (and won't be for another few decades, iirc).

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope that accessibily improves faster soon.

I remembered why I'm so miffed about the premature "on holdshelf" status. One of the previous library websites, which had its own more serious problems, had a "recent return" status before "on holdshelf" .
