Suspending a hold

Suspending a hold keeps your place on a title's wait list if you're not ready to read it. When you suspend a hold, the title will continue circulating among other readers, which helps your library.

Here's how it works:

  • When you suspend a hold, you'll continue moving up the wait list. Your hold won't be delivered until you manually unsuspend it.
  • You can suspend your hold even if it's ready to borrow.
  • Holds will lapse if they're suspended for 365 consecutive days.

To suspend a hold:

  1. Tap Shelf Shelf, in the navigation footer.
  2. Tap Holds at the top of the screen.

  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.
