What happened to the Deliver Later feature for my holds in Libby and the OverDrive website?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

OverDrive has replaced Deliver Later with Suspend.

Instead of selecting a Deliver Later date, you’ll manually Unsuspend a hold when you're ready for it.

In the Libby app, if you already have holds, you’ll see a notice about this change on your Holds screen. If you don’t have any holds yet, you’ll see the new behavior the next time you suspend one. On the OverDrive library website , there won’t be a notice — just the updated experience.

What are tags in Libby and how do I use them?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

You can use Tags however you want. Using a Tag instead of placing a hold on a title is good way to keep track of books you want to read or listen to later without impacting wait times.

Popular ways to use tags include:

-Books you want to read (see image)
-Books you're using for a research project
-Favorite books
-Book club reads
-Beach reads
-Audiobooks to listen to on a run or road trip
-Books you want to share with a friend

How long will it take to receive requested items from offsite storage?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Some archival materials and bound periodicals are located at a storage facility outside of the library and must be requested before visiting the Main Library, in order to give us time to retrieve them.  Please allow up to 72 hours for requests from the Magazines & Newspapers Center collection and up to 4 business days for requests from the San Francisco History Center and Book Arts & Special Collections.
