This evening I will walk into the downtown branch of the Wichita Public Library, plunk down one shiny quarter, and receive a two week loan on the final Harry Potter book. This is the first time I've paid to use the "hold" system at the library and I only did it because I figured, even with 100 copies in circulation, my chances of finding this insanely popular book actually on the shelves in the next few months was pretty slim.
Now I just have to find the time to read it.
Don't tell me what happens! I'm number 1409 of 1584 holds here in Portland. Of course there are 500 copies, but even then I don't expect to see the book until October or so.
