A reserve has a reserve period equal to its loan period. For example, if a patron
reserves an item for March 18th, and the loan period is 10 days (2 weeks) for that
circulation type, the reserve period is March 18-April 1. A reserve automatically
expires a day after the end of the reserve period. For more information about
reserves, see A brief introduction to reserves" on page 166.
