Suspending a hold

Suspending a hold lets you keep your place in line for a title until you're ready to read it.

When a hold is suspended, you'll continue moving up the wait list. If you're first on the wait list, you'll get the next available copy of the title after you unsuspend the hold.

You can suspend a hold before or after it's ready for you to borrow. Holds suspended for 365 days in a row will lapse.

To suspend a hold:

  1. Tap Shelf Shelf, in the navigation footer.
  2. Tap Holds at the top of the screen.
    Shelf screen with holds highlighted
  3. If your hold is ready to borrow, tap Suspend.
    If your hold isn't ready to borrow, go to Manage Hold > Suspend Hold.
  4. Tap Suspend Hold again to confirm.
