Spence Overdrive Ebooks: Overdrive Classic: Place Holds

While a book is on hold you can:

• Change email notification address.
• Suspend hold: Suspending a hold lets you choose a window of time where you'll make progress on a title's waiting list without having the title become available for you to borrow. For example, you might want to suspend a hold for a popular eBook if you're on a long waiting list for it, but know you'll be unable to read it because you're in the middle of another title. If you make it to the first place in the waiting list while your hold is suspended, the title will go to the next user in line until your suspension period is over.
• Enable auto checkout. When the book becomes available it will be automatically checked out to you.
• Remove hold: if you obtain the book else where.

Once a hold becomes available, you will receive an email notification as soon as the title is available to borrow. If you selected automatic checkout when placing the hold the book will be automatically lent to you. If you did not, you'll only have 3 days to borrow it before your hold is canceled.

If you’re under 13 years old: The title will be automatically placed on hold for you. When it becomes available for you to borrow, you'll see a notification next to the Account icon.
