Comment on Libraries are cool
capybeby@sh.itjust.works 7 hours agoInteresting! When you return a book to a different in-network library it stays there? In the US/at my library, if a book belongs to library and a patron returns it at library B, it is sent back to A.

Depends.
Items get sent around all the time. In-network, copies are interchangeable, and the system balances them out among the libraries. AFAIK there’s no particular need for a copy to back to the same shelf.
If someone isn’t looking for a certain item, it wont move again unless someone asks, or if the library needs space for something else.
