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.

To suspend all your holds:

1. Go to  > Actions > Suspend All Holds.
2. Use the slider to choose how long you'd like to suspend your holds.
   Tip: When you drag the slider to the right edge, tap the underlined 180 days for more options.
3. Tap Update Holds.

To suspend a single hold:

1. Go to .
2. Tap holds at the top of the screen.
   
3. Tap Manage Hold, then Suspend Hold.
4. Use the slider to choose how long you'd like to suspend your hold.
   Tip: When you drag the slider to the right edge, tap the underlined 180 days for more options.
5. Tap Update Hold.
