Picked Up Library Book On Hold - Delayed Gratification Pays Off

Yesterday I picked up a book at the library that I had placed on hold.

This might not seem like such a big deal, but it is the first time that I had ever actually put a book on hold.  Usually I just wander through the library and pick up things I find interesting and sign them out.  If there is a book I hear about that I really want to read I usually order it from Amazon.

So this is a big step forward.  I heard about this book by reading an online forum.  Instead of running to Amazon I ran to the library web page, found it in the catalog, figured out how to reserve it, and waited for it to come in.

Let's hear it for delayed gratification.
