And if someone puts a request in for a book that I have, it shortens my lease on the book to 3 weeks from when I first got it or right now, whichever is soonest. I don't know if there is any grace period for returning it at that point.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18079829842465164437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945613.post-11891821870234335712010-10-06T16:56:00.009-06:002010-10-06T16:56:00.009-06:00Book lust is a real problem for me.

It's hard for me to resist the urge to hurl all the volumes down off the stacks and roll around with them on the floor.<br /><br />now I'm sweating.<br /><br />Ok - maybe a slight exaggeration. Libraries are a very very very very good thing. So few people seem to appreciate them any more.Lee Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362840947090456877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945613.post-54741805874320712112010-10-06T16:04:38.296-06:002010-10-06T16:04:38.296-06:00Having the semester-long check out on books as a g...Having the semester-long check out on books as a grad student is nice. At my library, they also do not charge late fees, so basically you can keep them forever unless somebody else puts a hold on them (at least, I assume a hold would mean you have to take it back, but I'm not sure how/if that's true nor how it would be enforced, short of blocking you from checking out other books).Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15376389949707679077noreply@blogger.com
