       The hold process works pretty well. We have filled 26,000 holds this year to date. It's one of the most satisfying things we do: we know we are giving people Exactly What They Want each time a hold is filled!
       Nevertheless, if you're already in line for one of these titles, don't count on getting it in your hands before the weekend. Come in and round up something else for your holiday TBR (to-be-read) stack, to make sure you're covered for the days we'll be closed. (The list of titles with the most holds, Books You're Willing To Wait In Line For, is always available from both the catalog and the About Books & Literature page.)
