Ditto. And I send an email to the person that has it indicating another patron would like to use it if they could return that would be great (and let me know if they need it back again.)

Yesterday a teacher was looking for a book, and my assistant told her it was checked out. The teacher asked who had it. My assistant replied in a friendly manner that that info was private. The teacher was aghast, and said that it had never been that way at the school. I tried to deflect the situation by telling her I'd put a hold on it and she would have it very soon. I also told her I could get it from the public library if she needed it immediately. She really didn't need it but couldn't stop expressing her dismay at the "private records."
