Libby App Update

The Libby App has an update available in the App Store today. Libby has simplified how hold suspensions work. Now, users no longer select an end date for a hold suspension. Instead, a user will manually unsuspend a hold when they’re ready for it.

In Libby, users with existing holds will see a notice letting them know about this change on their Holds screen. Users who don’t have holds will see the updated behavior if they choose to suspend a hold in the future. OverDrive library websites will not show a notice like this; users will simply see the updated behavior.

Additionally: If a user misses their hold on its first delivery, it’ll be suspended until they unsuspend it. It no longer unsuspends automatically after 7 days. Holds will be canceled if they’re suspended for 365 days in a row. The term “Deliver Later” has been replaced by “Suspend.” Now, any time you want to delay getting a hold – before or after it’s delivered – you’ll suspend it.
