We've all been there - you search for a book that you've been longing to read only to find out that someone has it checked out!

How do I see my place in line for a hold?
After you place a hold, go to Shelf > Holds and click the 
icon to see your place in line and the number of people waiting.
When you select a book that is currently checked out, you will come to a page like the one below.
Here, you can see:
1. The number of copies the library has
2. The typical hold time for the title.
**The more popular the title, the longer the holds may be**
You will enter a preferred email address to place the hold, so Overdrive can contact you when the title is available.

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:
