I know I'm biased, but libraries are wonderful. The final book in the epic Wheel of Time series released today. My local public library system had 21 copies listed as "in processing" yesterday which means they already had the book (otherwise it would have said "on order"). As of 11:30am today, two of the branches had their copies on the hold shelf waiting for eager patrons to pick up. Sadly, my branch is not one of these, but I'm still hoping they'll have it ready by the end of the day.
If not, I can wait. Impatiently. I hope....
Also, I know someone who pre-ordered it through Amazon and probably won't get it until the weekend. That may be a shipping choice he made, but still, go libraries!
