FYI:
This is the comment concerning book approvals from Madeline's notes from the
March 20 phone chat.
1. Approval queue backlog: It's taking me longer than I'd like to
approve books. Suggestions for reducing the time welcome, but keep in mind
we are not hiring anyone anytime soon. I'm hoping to recruit a volunteer to
help, although it will likely be someone in house and won't happen just yet.
From out phone chat, no one seemed too upset about the wait time, and
apparently back in the day you sometimes had to wait months or even a year
to get books approved. My current compromise: if you have a book that's due
at the library or needs to be returned, let me know and I'll be happy to
approve that book immediately.

It took 4-5 weeks for my last book to finally be accepted and put into the
collection. I know Madeleine is busy, but it seems a bit excessive,
precisely for the reason Cindy gives--submitters send the book back to the
library.
It took about a month for Dharma Vahini to come bouncing back, too.

Does anyone happen to know how long after the Action shown in the history
of a book is "Accept" it is Approved and one gets such a notice? The date
of the "Accept action is April 2 and today is the 9th; I suppose I'd better
renew the library book if it will be quitett a lot longer before I get an
aApproval notie
