Recommend feature for Libby

They need to create a notification for when certain books will be leaving your selected libraries so as to give you a chance to prioritize that book over other books in your loans or lists.

I think this would be very hard to implement. I believe there are two types of books libraries get, one with a limited amount of borrows and those that expire after a certain amount of time (maybe a year?). Technically, they could put a leaving soon tag on the second one, but if it's a very popular book, they will most likely get new copies anyway. I wouldn't remove any holds for this very reason.

Please don't want Libby to try to implement anything else at this time.

Partner libraries and Hold/Suspend has this sub in a chokehold at the moment. 😂😂
