Deal with Holds Errors

Do you have too many holds?

You might wonder how many holds you can have at one time.

The magic number is 50. You may have a maximum of 50 holds at one time, at most.

Fix an activation error when unable to put items on hold?

If you are stuck on the page that prompts you for an activation date of today or later, check your system clock. Is the date and time correct to Pacific time?

To update your system clock, in Windows, go to the Start button, then to Control Panel, then to Date and Time. In OSX, click on the clock, and Open Date & Time.

Once your system Date & Time are corrected, you should be able to place a hold. If not, please contact us.
