How to borrow an available hold

When a hold is available for you, you'll receive a notification email and have three days to borrow it.

Note: If you don't borrow a hold during its initial three-day pickup window, we'll automatically suspend it as a one-time courtesy. You can remove the suspension to make your hold active again.

To borrow the title:

  1. Go to your Holds page on your library's OverDrive website.
    You'll need to be signed into the site to get to this page.
  2. Select Borrow next to the title.
  3. From there, you can choose a lending period (if available) and a reading format (for ebooks).

If you received a notification email but don't see your hold, visit this article for more help.
