No sooner had I read the email about it - appropriately titled "Exciting news" - then my sister called me to shout the good news at me. I guess she read an email too!
This news is especially exciting for me because we still can't find the last of the pre-pandemic DVDs we took out. Got the case, not the DVDs. A month ago I flagged down a neighbor who was heading to the library (lovely woman, adorable puppy) to ask her to return them, but then she had to give me back the case later because there was no DVD in it, and I don't know where it could be. (It's not in the player, we checked.)
