My Holds

Can I pause or freeze my holds?

Published: December 20, 2021

Freeze and Thaw Your Holds

Don’t want all of your holds to come in at the same time? Going out of town? You can freeze items in your Library account and the Library App. A frozen hold will continue to move up in the queue and will not activate until thawed.

If the hold reaches #1, it will remain there until you unfreeze it.

Holds can’t be frozen when:

  • Items are Ready for Pickup in your account
  • Items are In Transit to fill your hold

How many holds can I have on my account?

Published: July 17, 2020

You can have 30 physical items on hold, and 10 eCollection items on hold.

Making lists in your account is a great way to keep track of more things you want to read or watch.
