Wish List
If you have already reached your limit when putting items on hold (25) or if you don't want to obtain an item right away, you can save it to a wish list.
- Wish lists are tied to your account, so they are only visible when you are signed in to My Account online.
- For your convenience, there is a "Place Hold" button next to each item in a wish list so you can put it on hold when you are ready to request it.
- You can have multiple lists, and it is easy to add, remove, or even move items between lists.
- If you have the Reading History feature turned on, you can update your wish list by removing items you have already checked out. Just view a wish list and click "Remove Read."
