Suspending a hold lets you continue moving up on a title's wait list without the title becoming available for you. If you reach #1 on the wait list, you'll be in the first position to get the book once your suspended hold period ends.
For example, you might want to suspend a hold for a popular ebook if you're on a long wait list for it, but know you'll be unable to read it because you're in the middle of another title.

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 on the waiting list while your hold is suspended, the title will go to the next user in line until your suspension period is over.
