Freezing and Cancelling holds

Freezing or Cancelling a Hold

Freezing your hold allows you to move up in the line but not receive a hold if you are unavailable to pick the item up. If you reach the top of the waiting list and your hold is frozen, others below you in the waitlist will receive the item Once you unfreeze the item you will be next in line. Because there is not a waitlist for available items, you cannot freeze a hold for items that are available on the shelf at a branch, in transit, or already on a holdshelf for a customer.

To freeze your holds, log in to your library account. View Holds. Check the box by Freeze for the hold(s) that you would like to freeze. Then, choose Update List. Confirm your selection by selecting Yes.
