----------------"If you go without playing the trumpet for one day, no one knows, two days, only you know, and more than three days without practicing, girl you better look out, because everyone will know!" Today, I find myself constantly saying those words, just to get myself going, to not give up, and it works. Since I learned to play the trumpet at the tender age of 10, I have spent so much passion and much diligence with that instrument that I will not give up on it. Sometimes my instrument puts me into awkward situations where I feel like they won't ever end, but the trumpet gives me a lot of hope with the majestic, crystal-clear sound it brings to my ears.

Since two weeks is the basic time for proofing/renewing a book, that would mean if your checkout limit is full, you have to finish something in the next two week period or lose the held book. That's a rather strict requirement. I would say at least 4 weeks, maybe two months. If you know you can't get to it in two months, wouldn't it be just as easy for the submitter to just not submit it until you are ready?Misha siss52 wrote:I predict that most people will hate such a short span of time.

If a book has been on the checkout list for more than 2 weeks with a HOLD in its title, I will remove the HOLD to allow other people to proof the book.On January 1st, I will remove the HOLDs on all books that were submitted prior to December 1st. This is to give people time to finish their current books and start on their new ones that have HOLDs on them. On January 15th, I'll remove the HOLDs on any books that were submitted during December, and then the 2-week rule will go into effect.I know that some people will love this, and other people will hate it. Let's try it for a while, and see how it goes. If the vast majority of people hate this, then we'll revisit it.By the way, having a time limit on HOLD books in the checkout queue was one of the top suggestions in the volunteer survey that Pavi sent out. She is working on an email to be sent to everyone that details the results of the survey. The survey provided a huge amount of really valuable feedback, so thanks very much to everyone who participated in it!Happy holidays!
