CLEVNET is updating the holds limit per cardholder. These changes will take effect on June 15, 2025.
Here’s what’s changing and how it affects you.
CLENVET is updating the holds limit to a maximum of 50 OverDrive holds (previously 999). These limits were increased in 2020 to help meet demand. After 5 years of sustained demand, increasing digital material prices, and the possibility of library funding changes, the current holds limit is not sustainable. By lowering the hold limit, we also hope to help reduce wait times.
How will this affect how I use Libby or Overdrive?
If you are an infrequent user of the digital collection, this change will most likely not impact the way you use Libby. If you are a frequent user of Libby or OverDrive, you might notice the new hold limit more than another user. If you have over 50 holds after June 15, you will not lose any of those existing holds, but you will not be able to place new ones until you have fewer than 50 holds.
If you have found yourself using the hold function as a to-be-read list, try using the tags feature in Libby instead. When using tags, you can create custom lists of books you want to read and organize them to your liking. If you use the OverDrive website, https://clevnet.overdrive.com/clevnet-cpl/content, you can add titles to your wish list. If you use Libby and the OverDrive website, you can import your wish lists into Libby.
Additionally, if you finish a book before the lending period is over, you can return it early to help reduce the wait time for others. But don’t worry if you forget, eBooks and eAudiobooks will automatically return when the loan period is finished, as always.
The upgrades are complete.
