[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I scan the books on order list on the online catalog and place holds on interesting books before they come out. That means I usually get them pretty soon after they are released. Library orders are also a significant part of a books market, so I believe that it helps the authors too, but that may just be something I saw on Instagram once.

Sometimes I have trouble finishing a book before it’s due. If I’m close to finishing it I will just power through and return it a little late. If I’m not, then I’ll put it back on hold. Sometimes I will buy a longer book.

I rarely browse adult shelves at the library. Mostly I operate by putting books I want to read on hold. [/quote]
Libby does not let me put a hold on books before the library has it (overdrive allowed it, but not Libby). Have you run into this problem? I’m wondering if I’m going it wrong in Libby or if libraries have different rules.[/quote]

Are you using the deep search function and “notify me”? You should automatically be added to the list if your library acquires the book. [/quote]
