(High Interest Titles which are not renewable) but I had run out of all renewals for that one. My bad. I had reserved several books and they all became available at the same time. A few of them were not renewable so I had to read them right away and that book got pushed to the side.

I think I'll go check it out again since I had only read a few pages of it. Ha!
