Cut Off

I have decided to listen to audio books that Barb has already read so we can talk about them.  Barb likes mysteries.  I have cards for three libraries: Avon Park, New Hamburg and Ottawa.  They all have a great supply of audio books.  I have found a way to get around the due date problem with audio books from the library.  I can download the books using their software and then transfer the books to my mp3 players and then copy the mp3 files from my player to my computer for permanent storage.  So I spent quite a few evenings downloading all of Barb’s mysteries from the libraries then after I had copied them over to my computer I was returning them to the library using their software so that I could download more.  I guess the library noticed this strange behaviour and froze my account.  I phoned to find out why my account was frozen and they didn’t know.  They told me to email the system administration.  I did and they told me I had been downloading and returning too many books in a short period of time.  I had to wait a week until they let me back on the system.  I will have to slow my downloading.
