Traveling for the holidays? Consider suspending your holds requests. To suspend a hold basically means to pause it — you're still in the line for the item, but the item will skip over you to allow others to check it out. It’s a great option if you’re close to the front of the line and are worried you may miss your seven-day window to pick up an available item. Visit catalog.library.loudoun.gov to manage your account.
