Library holds on Harry Potter

When I placed a hold on the new Harry Potter book through the Multnomah County Library web site, imagine my surprise to see that I was the 999th hold. Two weeks later, I checked in and found that I had moved to 991st position, and there were now 1,128 holds in total. For a book that releases in another three months on July 21st, 2007, that's an impressive hold list:


What's even more amazing is the number of copies that the Multnomah County Library system has ordered: 329 copies!
