Suspending a hold
You can suspend a hold before it's ready for you to borrow.
Suspending a hold lets you move up a title's wait list without the title becoming available for you. If you reach #1 in line, you'll be in the first position to get the book once your suspension ends.
You may want to suspend a hold if you have too little time to read or too many books in progress.
