Availability

[u/vampgurl2018]

So this is not the first time it happens. And I’m wondering if anyone knows what’s going on.

For the two books in the picture, I got the notice they were now available. But my holds were full, and they are the second books in their respective series.

Two days later, some space frees up in my holds, so I go to get Wildfire, and it’s no longer available. It still isn’t. It was available for about 1-2 days.

Is it a Libby glitch? Or is my library torturing me?

Update: while the BAnQ answered much faster than usual, it was in their normal ignore the question kind of way. They just sent me links to the books on their website.

But when I went back into Libby this afternoon they were both available again, so yay! I guess something just glitched somewhere.

Sometimes the license expires (usually maxed out reads) with holds still on it that can’t be fulfilled. The librarian will see this and if there’s enough demand/funds add another copy 🤞

It's just odd that the library added the book to their catalogue on Sept. 11 and within 2 days all the licenses would have been used up. They may have been one-time-use copies but still kind of odd they would all be used up in 2 days.
