So at the pool tonight, we were talking about how easy and convenient thel local library's online renewal service is..... and I 'fessed up to regularly renewing one book I want/need to read but never get round to ...we eventaully stopped laughing, so I thought all y'all might apprecite it too .. but I knew you'd demand proof, so here is the screenshot of our library account (we just can't find the garfield book) (books need renewing once a month)

Ragetti: That's what you call ironic.

I don't think we get to renew that many times at my library.

monster · 08-30-2009, 09:16 PM

oh, we have some we've been renewing for more than 4 years.......

it didn't used to be this way....

Clodfobble · 08-30-2009, 10:30 PM

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we get to renew a maximum of three times.

Actually, come to think of it, that may only be if someone else has requested the book. If no one is requesting it maybe they'd let you keep it forever, I don't know.

monster · 08-30-2009, 10:32 PM

if someone wants it, it can't be renewed.

dar512 · 08-31-2009, 09:44 AM

I can't imagine that no one wants Garfield Hits the Big Time.

Alright. Who's brave enough to go request the Garfield book so that Monnie has to look for it?

monster · 08-31-2009, 10:28 AM

oh please don't

I'm sure it's here somewhere (with the other one) but I just have stuff to do this week. back to school necxt week.

Continually renewing the Procrastinators Guide to Wills and Estate Planning is truly funny.

monster · 08-31-2009, 01:14 PM

I know. I wonder if anyone at the library has noticed?

I hope they're laughing as much as I am.

casimendocina · 08-31-2009, 10:54 PM

Wouldn't it be easier just to go and buy your own copy? It shouldn't cost that much.

monster · 08-31-2009, 10:57 PM

easier than including it in the "renew all" click? I don't think so..... plus i'm super-stingy....

monster · 09-01-2009, 10:42 AM

don't be such a party pooper. Obviously now I have to keep it for as long as I possibly can..... it's probably already way out of date, that's why no-one else wants it
