Hello how may I help you? I'd like to see if a book is currently out on loan or not. Sure, which book are you looking for? Check for The Old Man and the Sea It looks like we have one copy of that available at the Main branch. Great, could I reserve it now? I can place a hold on it for you and we can set it aside for 1 week Sounds good, I'll drive there tomorrow to pick it up. It should be ready to pickup by then. Just ask for it at the front desk. Thanks so much for your help, you've been great! You're welcome.
