New. Hold suspension & redelivery.
​

What is hold suspension?
  • Suspending a hold lets a user keep moving up the wait list without the title becoming available to them.
  • If a user reaches the top of the wait list while a hold is suspended, they keep their place, but the title passes to the next person in line.
  • When their suspension period ends, the hold becomes active again and the user is notified when the title is available to borrow.
  • Users can suspend any or all holds, and they can choose the suspension period that’s right for them.
  • Suspending a hold is a great feature for readers with too little time to read or too many books in progress.
What is hold redelivery?
  • Hold redelivery allows users to suspend a hold after it becomes available.
  • When a user opts to have the hold redelivered, they choose a suspension period, keep their place in line, and pass the title to the next person in line.
  • Once the suspension period ends, the hold becomes active again and the user is notified when the title is available to borrow, like a normal suspended hold.
  • If a user doesn’t act on their hold during the pickup window, the hold will be automatically suspended for 7 days as a one-time courtesy (per hold).
Manage Hold Notifications in Libby by Overdrive

Push notifications are now the default alert method for available holds and other important events. If you'd like to receive emails for your available holds instead:
  1. Tap the Libby icon, swipe left on any existing in-app notifications, then tap Manage Notifications.
  2. Scroll to the bottom of the menu, tap device settings, and disable notifications for Libby.
  3. Return to Libby and tap Receive Email Notifications (under ​the Libby icon > Manage Notifications).
  4. Enter your email address and tap Next.
By default, you'll be opted into emails for all events, but you can change your notification preference for each event. You can choose Ignore (no notification), Menu badge (in-app menu notification), or Email notice (notification email).
