Missed one... also got...

- Monster Makers (Linda Blair & Adam Baldwin)

Library Police!

I watch dozens, if not hundreds, of films from the library each year. It's how I see most new stuff. The only bummer is I used to get blu-rays very quick, but now more and more other members have BD players so the waits are getting longer. Still can't complain about free rents!

I returned 3 of the 5 today... and got 3 more...

- The Canterville Ghost (Patrick Stewert & Neve Campbell)
- The Ugly Truth (Katherine Heigl & Gerard Butler)
- The Shadow (Alec Baldwin)

  Well out of those three... I actually seen 2 of them before... but it has been years... so I grabbed them for the heck of it.

yeah.. I realized it. But there is always renewing them as well.... I believe they said that you can renew it 3 times.... so that would be up to a month (1 week each) if I really needed it. But here two days later and I was already able to return 3 of the 5! 

We can renew unlimited times here, but only if no one else is on the waiting list. Works great for old catalog titles, esp. if you can just grab them off the rack inside. But new stuff you have to get on an online waiting list for.
Example, tomorrow I'll get 'Twilight the thankful end' (it's on hold fo me now, they hold for 6 days but that hold time doesn't count toward the week you get to have it once checked out), and have one week to watch it, or else I have to return it and go to the back of the list. I could grab something like Batman Begins and keep renewing it until someone else requests it, and even then I could keep it if that request gets filled with another copy before my return date.
I think my record is 20 renews, and I never even got around to watching whatever that was. I could've kept renewing but gave up.

As I said they don't do it that way here. You have to turn it in after  times renewing. But that is OK... I just figure I will give it another go at another time.

Popped into the library this morning... not sure what I bring home with me yet.
