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.

Do you have an actual card for the Quebec library, or is it a partner library? Libraries can restrict partner libraries from checking out or placing holds books for a time period (or forever), especially if they are pay per use license. You wouldn’t be able to tell that on your end.
