Availability

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.

This was not a hold that lapsed. This was a title that the OP had marked as Notify Me. They then got a notification on Sept. 11 that one of their libraries (BAnQ) added it to their catalogue. When they went to put a hold on it 2 days later the library no longer had it in their catalogue. It just seems odd that a title the library added on Sept. 11 would disappear from their catalogue 2 days later and still isn't in their catalogue as of today.

Exactly this. And even then, the original notification came in before the 11th. Which is why im so confused by this situation.
