Brb reading

When you've got 120 pages left in your library book but it's due back tomorrow and you can't renew it because someone else has reserved it...

That'll be a long evening and short night ...

[ganimede]

It's about 2 hours of reading. Not too bad.

[daphnep]

That’s a lot of pages. Good luck!

[ganimede]

It was about a third of the book!

Haha, if I have an amount of pages left that's more than I can read in one night, but won't take more than a couple days past the due date, I just return it late and take the fine. But 120 seems doable!

[ganimede]

You rebel! I suppose it depends how much the fine is. It's 20p a day here, but then it costs 75p to reserve a book in the first place. It would be cheaper to take the fine than reserve the book again.

It's 30 or 35 cents a day here (depending on which library system), but it's free to put a book on hold! They only charge if you don't pick up the book by the deadline. But it's too much trouble to wait and get it again, haha.

[ganimede]

25p works out to 32 cents so that's around the same price for the fines. I really wish it was free to reserve a book though! It's a ridiculous cost. Although they do have a loyalty card so if you reserve 5 books, you get the sixth one free...

lmao been there. Good luck!

[ganimede]

It's quite the struggle!
