Library order question

When I finished listening to The Raven Boys, I was bummed that my library system didn't have The Dream Thieves on audiobook.  I added my name to the hold list for the real book, and asked my librarian whether there was any plan to get a copy of the audiobook anywhere in the system.  She said she'd look into it, but it might take a few weeks.  This week, The Dream Thieves audiobook magically appeared in on my hold list with the status listed as "on order."  She ordered it for me and put me first on the hold list!  Yay!  In the meantime, however, my name came up for the book a week or so ago, and I've already read it.  Is it wrong to take my name off the hold list, when the librarian just ordered it for me?  I know others will still benefit from the system owning a copy of it, but I feel guilty that she ordered it because I asked, and now I don't want it anymore.  I think I'm the only one on the hold list.  WWYD?

    That's awesome that she did that for you. I don't think you should feel guilty. Besides, how would she know? It's not like she's stalking your account.

    I would send a Thank you note to the person who ordered it for me. Also they may have put you down so it showed the demand. You can always check it out and then turn it right back in.

    Don't worry about it. It isn't a big deal. It was probably already in the system or in the process of being ordered but the record wasn't public. I work in a public library and I do this. Sometimes it just takes too long and I end up buying it, change mind, or borrow from another system.

    I'm stalking my hold list in anticipation of Allegiant, and this one just changed to ready.  I also have the Shining on audio ready to pick up, but I'm holding off until next week so I can finish what I'm currently listening to first.  I'll probably just pick it up and then return it.  Because I can't cancel the hold now.

    Thanks for the advice!
