    The library's no good as they never have the books I want - I went in with a list of about 100 books once and they only had 2 of them.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Does this still count if it's not the weekend?

    A lot of places have a system where you can take a book from library A and return it to library B as long as it's in the same county or library administrative district. I normally pick up a bunch of books from wherever I happen to be at the weekend and then drop them off at the local library when finished - saves quite a lot in ordering fees!

    Alternatively, if you don't get charged anything to order the book into your branch (which IMO you shouldn't, but...) then even better.
