If the request date on a request you made has changed, that means the first sender did not complete the sending process by marking the book mailed to you, and your request has been automatically passed along to a new sender.

• Perhaps the first sender never responded at all
• Perhaps the first sender initally accepted your request, but never marked the book mailed
• Perhaps the first sender declined the request
• Perhaps the first sender declined your request because the book did not meet your Requestor Conditions
• Perhaps the first sender initially responded, but then canceled the transaction (if he or she couldn't find the book, for example)

If the transaction is not completed for any of these reasons, the PBS system will continue searching for a book until a copy is marked mailed to you (or until there are no other copies in the system, or until you cancel the request), all without any further effort from you.
