From 20 October 2026, the maximum number of holds that can be placed on physical items will change from 30 to 15.

What does this mean for me?

- If you currently have fewer than 15 holds, no action is required.

- If you currently have more than 15 holds, your existing holds will remain in place. You will not be able to place additional holds until your total number of holds falls below 15.

- Suspended holds count towards the hold limit.
