Borrowing available holds

As soon as a hold becomes available, you'll get a notification and have 72 hours (3 days) to borrow it, suspend it, or cancel it.

To find your hold, open the notification from Libby or go to Shelf > Holds.

Then:

• To borrow the hold: Tap Borrow, pick a lending period, and follow the prompts.
• To suspend the hold: Tap Manage Hold > Suspend Hold.
• To cancel the hold (if you no longer want it): Tap Manage Hold > Cancel Hold.

If you miss the 72-hour pickup window, your hold will be suspended automatically as a one-time courtesy. Holds will lapse if they're suspended for 365 days in a row.

Tip: To see your holds in the order they will most likely be available, tap on your holds screen, then select expected next and tap Show Holds. To pin this filter so your holds are always sorted this way, tap the applied expected next sort, then tap Pin Sort.
