Why would I freeze my library hold?
Freezing a hold means that your position in the holds queue is skipped over until the hold is unfrozen or thawed. Freezing a hold allows you to time the arrival of some of your holds to a more convenient time for you. For example, if you are going on vacation and don't want to miss getting your requested items, you can pause/freeze your holds before you leave then resume/unfreeze them when you return.
Steps to freeze a hold
