I need something to watch while crafting because none of my current options are holding my interest, which means I don't do the crafting. I'm probably going to rewatch something I know I enjoy, but though I've narrowed my choices a bit, I can't decide. Help me choose?

My library has self-service hold pickup - you walk up to the hold shelf and find your items under your name, then take them to the check out. However, if you have an interlibrary loan item on hold (an item that came from outside our library system), we keep those behind the desk. They're not ours, and often they're older items or specialty items - we like to take special care of them. So instead, we have a few empty dvd cases that say "Your Interlibrary Loan Item is in! Please pick it up at the Service Desk!" in big letters on the cover. We do this because people are used to getting their own holds and otherwise might not realize they have a special item in.

9 times out of 10, people pick up these cases and then come up to the desk to complain that they didn't put a dvd on hold. The 10th time is a person who's gotten an ILL before. I have never seen anyone actually look at the case and register what the text says.

I realize that this is a very human tendency but god, I am still so surprised every day at how few library patrons seem willing to, y'know, read.
