twincityhackerToday I managed to unfuck up my library account. Last spring I returned over twenty books at once. Five of them stayed on my account, even though I was sure that they got taken back to the library.
Though, a niggling feeling remained that I might have packed them away into storage. Sunday, I unpacked everything, but there were no library books. So this afternoon, I wrote down the call numbers of all the books on my account and went hunting. I found four of them, but since the only information on the fifth book was "The History of the Peloponnese War", and there's four volumes of the book, with multiple copies of each, I aborted the mission and headed down to the circulation desk to complain.
The woman at the circulation desk was stunned that I had five books that managed to go back onto the stacks without being discharged from my account. She looked up my account, and gave me the library's barcode for the last one. I went up to the 9th floor, and the first book I pulled out matched.
She apologized, and the supervisor came over and he also apologized. I got a lot of apologies.
I now have NO books on my library account. I am, however, already thinking about the books I need for various projects, so that state is very, very ephemeral.
