I don't know if it is quite that long, but the card did not come home
with the book. It stayed at the library so they knew you had the book.

I have to wonder which system was better. I get email notices if books
or DVDs are due, but I have also had notices about books due that I
never took out or that I had never taken out. I have tried to renew
books online that the system said I did not have.
