While people are wearing their greenest outfits and drinking their greenest drinks, there's another way to enjoy St. Patrick's Day with Libby. If you've seen the happy little clovers on the Search page of Libby, then you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't seen those clovers, then take a look at the below image.
Skip-the-Line Titles
These books are usually popular titles that the library saves in their collection. There are no wait times for these titles, so you get to read them as soon as you find them! That's why they come with the shamrock image attached to them. The skip-the-line checkouts have special rules to go with their special name:
- They cannot be renewed
- They can only be borrowed for 7-14 days from QPL, depending on the title
- QPL patrons can only borrow one lucky title at a time
If you're not ready for book on the list, you can still tag it for later just like any other title in Libby. It's worth checking the skip-the-line collection because it changes frequently. With shorter checkout periods, books are returned faster, thus making them more readily available to you, the reader!
Not so Lucky?
If you still can't find the book you're interested in, remember to hit the Notify Me button on the book's page. This lets the library know that people are interested in a title and can influence the next one they buy. You have the power!
Happy hunting, literary leprechauns! ☘️
