Hold redelivery
In March 2020, Overdrive introduced a new option called hold redelivery听(or the "deliver later" option) for available holds. This feature gives you more control over your holds, so you can borrow and read titles when it is most convenient.
To support this feature, the听automatic hold checkout听setting is no longer active and any current holds will be updated to the new redelivery mechanism. This means you will need to manually borrow your new holds as they become available.听
How does hold redelivery work?
- When a hold becomes available, you will receive a notification email and have 3 days to pick up your hold.听
- You can choose to borrow the hold, have it delivered later, or cancel the hold.听
- If you do not take any action during the hold pickup window, the "deliver after seven days" option will automatically be applied.听
- If the book becomes available for you a second time, and you take no action for a second time, the hold will be cancelled.听
How can I see my holds?
Your holds appear under "My Account", just underneath Loans.
For more information and instructions on how to manage your available holds, please see the OverDrive .
