Let’s Talk Libby Holds 📖

A quick look at my Libby app holds!

Library apps are an amazing resource, but they also come with wait time - and that’s completely normal. Your access depends on what your local library carries and how many copies are available.

I love showing the side of reading because it’s realistic, budget, friendly, and part of how I plan my TVR throughout the year.

Do you use Libby or Hoopla? And what’s the longest hold you’ve ever waited for?
