What happens when my hold becomes available? Users will receive a notification when their hold becomes available. They’ll have 3 days to borrow it, or they can choose to have it delivered later. If a user has a hold delivered later, they’ll keep their place in the holds list, but the hold will go to the next person in line. Learn more about Notifications How do I access the “supplemental downloadable PDF” noted for an audiobook? If the publisher provided an accompanying PDF file, it will be available through https://libraryweb.overdrive.com/; this feature is not yet available through Libby. You can download the supplementary content from our OverDrive website on a computer and use the free Adobe Digital Editions software to open it.
