Quick Summary
It is only natural for us to want to take a walk down memory lane and start requesting albums or films of a favorite celebrity via interlibrary loan, however these titles are in often in very high demand.
This past year has had its fair share of loss with the deaths of several public figures and celebrities, most recently actor Carrie Fisher and her Mother Debbie Reynolds. When we lose a celebrity, it can feel like a connection that we have lost. They were part of our upbringing and growth. We may remember where we were when we heard Prince's first song or when the first Star Wars movie came out, they connect us to our youth and help us know ourselves a little better. It is only natural for us to want to take a walk down memory lane and start requesting all of our favorite David Bowie albums or Gene Wilder films via interlibrary loan. Unfortunately, these titles are in high demand once the death occurs and often are unavailable at all lending institutions even though the requested material is not recently published items. So if your patron is wondering why they can't get their favorite George Michael album from 1987 it is because we are all grieving and want to be taken back in time.
