Oh these days. These days of waiting on the cure. Get the first vaccine. Wait for the second. Wait for the second to fully take effect. Oh, these days. Oh, whine, Oh self-pity. We have a library. How is yours? Ours is great. Oh so very good. Everybody can go online and request a book. When it is ready, at your branch of choice, they send you an email telling you of it’s available. You have to make an appointment for when you can pick it up. I have arrived at another time and it is OK. Until yesterday. I had a 2:00 appointment. Anytime between 2:00 and 3:00 and, shame on me, I forgot. A time of my choosing on a day of my choice and I forgot. Shame on me. Until I received an email about not showing up.
Hello!
You had a library hold pickup appointment yesterday. Although you missed it, you are welcome to come pick up any time within the next five days, no need for a new appointment.
If you have new holds that have arrived, please let the person stationed at the desk know that you have missed holds and new holds to pick up.
How is that for a deal? I even got to pick up a book for my wife. She had not even made an appointment yet. They, the Multnomah County Library, is my first stop for books. All the time. Every time. They are great. Now if I can find the two books I have checked out and have someplace, somewhere, in my house.
I would like to return them.
