You may have noticed a recent change to the way hold suspensions work in Libby. Instead of choosing an end date, you now simply suspend or unsuspend a hold. If you miss your hold on its first delivery, it will be suspended until you unsuspend it. Holds are automatically canceled if they’re suspended for 365 consecutive days.
