Well, if you really did object, I wouldn't. But it's more to make sure I don't sound like I'm marching in and demanding things.
My local library has a rather confusing system for requesting books: you can look at their catalogue and your loans from anywhere on the internet, but in order to get a book from another branch you have to ask a librarian for a little square of paper on which you write down the details of the book you're after. The librarians always seem surprised that I've come prepared to spell the author's name without further assistance.
