Ghee Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 In a good way. I have used my library card, for online book requesting, so much that I know have the 14 digit sequence memorized. LOL Even my librarian mother is laughing at me ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakereese Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 You're in good company here! :) I have mine, DH's and my DS' numbers all memorized. Yeh, I use them occasionally. :lol: The question is: WHY can't I remember where I left my keys or what time I have an appt?? :glare::glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justLisa Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 :lol: I should be ashamed at how quickly I can rattle off or type my VISA, AMEX, and MC online *we need a bag over head smiley* In my defense we have a sucky library Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILiveInFlipFlops Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 :lol: I have both mine and DD10's memorized. We do so much requesting and downloading of ebooks and audiobooks online, I'm forever typing them in. And for some reason, Safari doesn't retain the card number for our library site, so I do have to enter it by hand every single time. (I can also rattle off my MC number pretty quickly, though in my defense, I do pretty much all non-grocery shopping online these days. What did we ever do before the Internet?! I can't even stand to step foot in a mall anymore :lol:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghee Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 I have mine memorized plus the ones for the kids in case I use up my book requests and need to use some of theirs. :tongue_smilie: I can check out as much as I want, but can only request 10 place holds at a time. I hadn't thought of getting the kids cards. Thanks for the idea! *Evil Laugh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amira Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 That's the first thing I do when I move to a new town. I usually know my ilbrary card number before I manage to remember my new phone number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Um_2_4 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Speaking of holds, does everyone's library charge for holds? They charge $1 !!! We just moved here and that floored me.. I guess I got spoiled by my old library?? They only charged you .25 if you placed a hold and didn't pick it up and check it out within 10 days. And Inter-library loans are $5 !!!! Maybe I need to find a new library? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Smith Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Do you mean there are people who don't!? :confused: :lol: I don't. :$ But my computer remembers it for me. :) so I don't have to. I did get an email from a librarian today asking for my phone number so she can talk to me further about my request for recorded classical poetry at the library. I of course got my dh to read the email so he knows how famous I am. :) :) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My library gives me, depending on when it arrives 2.5 to 3 days. I'm glad I live close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For in library holds and also for any requests I make from any library in their system (they even send them to my library for me to pick up.)

Kareni Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I too have the entire family's library card numbers memorized. We used to be able to only have thirty holds per card; fortunately, that has now changed. My husband used to joke that I would max out our library cards. (Hey, it's cheaper than maxing out a credit card!) Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as soon as I pick them up, I usually have something on my list to add. I would be spending hundreds a month! Almost all of my holds are inter-library, we live in a small town. I guess I never realized how good of a system we have. Everything is free for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Speaking of holds, does everyone's library charge for holds? Maybe I need to find a new library? Mine does not charge for holds. Of the four public library systems I use, all charge differently for fines but none charge for holds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWOB Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I have my library card number memorized too! Of course, it's only 4 numbers. And it's kinda a pervy 4 numbers. Very pervy. So I'm just a nerdy 12yo boy;):tongue_smilie:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Yep, I have mine, DH's, and DD's all memorized. Still working on the boys' numbers, but theirs are new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhotoGal Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Someone posted on here once that knowing your library card number will be homeschoolers' secret code if homeschooling becomes illegal and we have to go underground. :lol: I have mine and dh's memorized. I always feel funny typing them into the checkout machines instead of scanning the cards. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWOB Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 You know you've been assimilated when the librarian knows your number... :D :lol: Wait?! You mean that's not normal? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Our home library does not charge for holds but does charge $3.00 for an inter-library loan request. (Unless you volunteer four hours per month for the library in which case inter-library loans are free.) Our neighboring city's library for which we pay $120 per year charges $1.00 for each hold that is not picked up within eight days. I don't know what they charge for an inter-library loan.

AmyontheFarm Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I"m realizing that I am truly blessed at my library. I think I'll be picking up Miss Laura a coffee tomorrow! She will ask what the kids are studying next and will set things aside for me to look at the next time I come in. She is amazing! I don't have my numbers memorized, but I have them installed on the ipad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
