I'd put a hold on a book - The cat who saved the library because it sounds interesting & a light-ish read which I decided would make a nice change. So when they emailed me that it had arrived I called in to collect it...but alas, not on the holds shelf. So, asked a librarian for help. She checked all of the shelf in case it had been put under another alphabet letter, nope, not there.
So then another librarian joined the search, checked out the back, checked under the non fiction hold shelf - nowhere in sight.
So having asked if I minded a wait (are they mad - there are books?!) they apparently turned the entire library upside down & eventually discovered that it had somehow been put on the wrong trolley when returned & so was among shelved as usual books.
Librarians are brilliant.
The book had better be truly excellent...

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
