How to suspend a hold
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.
Use the steps below to learn how to suspend a hold.

- Choose the number of days you'd like to suspend your hold, then select Suspend.
Once you suspend a hold, you'll see a "Suspended until" notification next to the hold.
You can change or remove your suspension by selecting Edit hold.
