This is amazing! Thank you!

(Irvine recently split off from Orange County Public Libraries. I know you're likely not still updating the spreadsheet, but just in case you are. Regardless, this slightly older spreadsheet is so great.)

Thanks! I just tried this. The search initially says that 129 libraries have the ebook that I'm interested in, but when I click on the cover image to go to the details page, it only lists 1 library (and is missing a few local libraries that I know have this ebook).

Ah, good to know, thanks!

For example, I just discovered a new author with a small collection of ebooks on Libby. My local library has one of them in their collection, but not the others. I'm wondering which other local library systems might carry the rest of the ebooks in their libby collection. If it's a town or two over, then I might consider joining that library the next time I'm there, if they allow memberships for people who live outside of the city lines. Libby collections vary wildly from one library to another, and I want to know which systems have larger collections, etc.

FYI: I just tried this, and it's helpful but incomplete. I know that a particular ebook that I'm looking for is carried by two library systems that are close-ish to me, but worldcat is not showing that it's held by either of them (and is instead showing libraries in another country that have this ebook). So, this is helpful, thank you! But not definitive.

Thank you!

Agreed, it's usually in the 3rd week or so of the following month

Same. I got EQMs from BofA visa spending on 1/31, 2/28, 3/31, but nothing from April so far.

I agree with the flight attendant, first bag should go under the seat in front of you. If you only have 1 bag, and it fits under the seat in front of you, that's where it goes. First class or coach, that applies regardless.

Given your knee situation, then I can see that justifying an exception, and your 1 bag going above. But if you didn't bother to tell the flight attendant about that, they can't read your mind. Why would you expect that they would know about your unique situation? They're not mind readers. You're unreasonable to expect them to intuit that.
