Yes, and you can request that an item be sent to your branch from another and held for you.

There's a pretty lengthy Sports Illustrated excerpt. Don't know whether you might have seen it:

Yeah I think someone posted that piece once.

I think you can check book availability online now.

Those have been features for quite some time and I take full advantage of them but the night I was at the library I didn't plan on being there so I didn't have the time to check on availability. I was there last night picking up a couple of books and forgot all about that one :?

Okay, I didn't remember that.

I've heard that you can also be alerted via email when a hold item is ready for pick up, but I haven't tried that.

That's probably true but I've always been notified by phone.

I haven't read it yet but there's a file with the transcript of Bond's testimony on the MLB site now:

Montgomery County does that for me all the time.

Back to Bonds......

I will laugh my butt off if he ends up in Japan.  But he may find himself in court or out on Bond before that can happen.
