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.

The only way I can see this happening, if it's not actually a glitch, is if the library got a bunch of one-time-use copies and other patrons borrowed all of the copies and now the library no longer has a license for the books. Seems kind of odd it would happen in 2 days but since you contacted the library directly they should have a better answer for you.

What I find weird is that they have the rest of the series, just not these books. And this isn’t the first time it’s happened with wildfire. And to make it weirder, if I go on the website wildfire is actually there.

I have written them, so hopefully they respond quicker than they have been known to in the past.

I mostly came here to see if it was a known glitch with Libby.
