The County Library discussion

I put an e-book on hold in the Libby app on April 26 it said that I would get my hold in approximately two weeks. It still says two weeks? I’m confused

I find that the estimates are... iffy sometimes. I've never had something just get "lost" on Libby, but sometimes the estimate is way off.

Thanks I will continue try to and be patient 🤪

I track what I put on holds. For e-books, I presume the current checkout date for something that says "in two weeks" is today plus one, or 22 days from today. So you should get it by May 18 or 19. When you are the next one in line, it defaults to "in 2 weeks" I had something I put on hold say "in approx 2 weeks" and two days later it was available.

Thanks for the information that helps. I got a good giggle this morning when it popped up as available. Of course it couldn’t show up yesterday when I had an unexpected day off and could’ve sat in the sun and read the entire thing. 😆

Of course not! Make it simple and easy? Would be nice. But I'm glad you got the book.

I did something wrong I went in to read my book and it said my hold lapsed and I could request to have it delivered later. 😢

Oooh, yeah, when it becomes available you have to go in and actually borrow it or it'll do that.
:(

I thought I had but 🤷‍♀️ who knows. I’ve had problems since the update the app is a bit confusing now. Oh well at least I am still in line and eventually I will get to read it 😊

sometimes it also glitches and when I get out and go back in it's there.... I love Libby but it is sometimes temperamental

So glad to hear it’s not just me.

Libby definitely had some issues with this last update. But I feel like it's working better now. I've got some things on hold though, so I'll let you know if I ALSO have problems with it. Remember, you only have 48 hours once a hold comes in to decide what to do with it.

Thank you
