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 three-day pickup window, we'll schedule it for later delivery as a one-time courtesy.
To borrow the title:
- Go to your Holds page on your library's OverDrive website or in the OverDrive app.
You'll need to be signed into the site to get to this page. - Select Borrow next to the title.
- From there, you can choose a lending period (if available) and a reading format for your title.
If you received a notification email but don't see your hold, visit this article for more help.
