The library has lost faith in me

Last week, Kaige suggested a movie to me.  Unfortunately, it wasn't streaming anywhere, but I did see that my local library had a copy in DVD, so I placed a hold.  I went and picked it up on Saturday and checked the receipt, making note that it was due back on 4/12, the following Saturday.

This morning, I get an email from the library letting me know that, as a courtesy, they've auto-renewed my loan.  I guess they figure I can't watch a 90 minute movie in three days. 

While I apprecaite the gesture, I also find it hilarious. 

So, how's you?

Have you actually watched it yet? They could be right.

Not yet, but Maddie's going out tonight so I was planning on watching it then. LOL

They know you. If anyone knows you it's the library.

Okay, while you're not wrong, in my defense, I've been catching up on The Handmaid's Tale, since the new season started last night. Otherwise, I'd have watched it on Sunday.

But still... you are not wrong at all. 🤣

My always auto-renews... which is good because I frequently forget that I have books out.

I've never had anything auto-renew. I get reminder emails that things are almost due, but never this. However, I almost always borrow ebooks and digital audiobooks.

When our library went fines free, they set up an auto-renewal. So anything out auto-renewals four times unless it's on hold by someone.

That makes sense. I rarely borrow physical materials though — usually stick with ebooks and digital audiobooks — so that could be why I was surprised.

At least you don't have to rush now!

What movie is it? Of course I'm curious!

[asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com]

Nope!

It's called Possession with Gwyneth Paltrow and Aaron Eckhart and it's been pretty good!

My library auto-renews as well but not usually until the day it is due. It was nice of the library to renew it for you early. lol

I guess it's because I don't often borrow physical material that I never realized they did this. Hahaha — they must have known it'd take me three tries before I remembered to drop it off.
