My library didn't have a priority list and a regular list. They'd send
whatever was available no matter. Interesting that yours does. It should cut
down on the waiting time for favorite authors and bestsellers.

Hi, I got home the other day and my mum asked me what books I was expecting
because three big bags and one small package had arrived that day. I was
expecting a couple of them to be in braille but I didn't realise all four
books that the library had sent me were in braille. They are all three or
four volumes except one that is only one small volume but I didn't actually
ask for them to be sent. They were all books I have on a list of books with
the library that I wanted to read at some stage but they weren't on the high
priority list so I wasn't expecting them to be sent out. I'm guessing
because I had sent back my last braille book the computer decided I needed
another lot of braille so just went through my list and randemly picked some
books off the list. One of them I wasn't expecting to be in braille because
it is also available in audio so when I saw it on my loan list I asumed that
it was the audio they had sent me that was until all these bags turned up.
Well all I can say is I won't run out of hard copy braille for some time
now.
From Shaz.
