Thx for your response.

"Unlikely to happen imo " is the problem here. As a special library we loan the
book and it will normally be returned the same day. (The book does not really
leave the building.)

No. Patron2 may receive the book before patron1. That is no problem. Patron1
will probably have it the next day.
