What do you mean, I can’t keep them?

Remember these?
I’ve had them for oh, five weeks now, and managed to leaf through all of them several times. I’ve taken notes on stitch patterns I liked, stitch patterns I might be able to modify, and otherwise drowned in happy knitting goodness.
Until yesterday, when I got this email:
This is a friendly reminder to let you know that the following items are due back at the library on the date indicated below.
I figured I’d just renew them again. I mean, I’ve taken notes, but have yet to put needle to yarn and knit a swatch. So I went to the library web site, selected all the books, hit renew and…
TOO MANY RENEWALS
Too many renewals! In big red letters! Well, I never…
I guess I could return them, and then reserve them again, hoping that nobody else really really wanted them.
In the meantime, this is clearly a sign that I should spend less time working and more time knitting.

Grrr! I hate it when time goes by so quickly you don’t have time enough with the knitting books. BTW, I did the reserve/return thing the other day, and it worked quite well :0)
Ohhhhh that sucks!!!! I’d be upset too. Can you return them and immediately check them out???
Well, I managed to successfully re-reserve the first and third Barbara Walker treasuries. Woo!
Now if only my copy of Interweave Knits would arrive already…
As a library worker (and this may only apply to my library, though I hope not) we really don’t care if you check books right back out if there are no reserves on it. We just want those circulation figures to jump.
I hear you on the IK-missing. My copy hasn’t arrived yet either, and I’m getting antsy.
