Dear Monica;
Is there a protocol for addressing the length of time books are held? It seems
to me that if a certain amount of time has passed, say over 90 days, unless the
intended person has spoken up as to why they cannot get to it, it should be
fair game again. I know there have been several books that I would have
considered, but because of lengthy holds, did not broach the question. Then
again, I have enough work to keep me busy for as long as I care to and enough
to look forward to that interest Nichole that it doesn't usually affect me.
Smile. I hope someone would always let me know if a book has been on hold and I
just lost sight of it. My name is frequently miss spelled, so it would be
easily overlooked with an incorrect spelling.
