How do I know when my eBook / eAudiobook is ready to be checked out? How long do I have to check out my hold?

Answer

When the eBook / eAudiobook that you have put on hold is ready to be picked up, you will be notified via email.

In Overdrive, you have 48 hours from the time that the message was sent to you. Please keep in mind that the message time reflects Eastern Standard Time. 

You can also see the status of your digital holds in My Account. Log in to your account with your library card number and pin, then navigate to the Holds tab. Here, you can see the status of both digital and physical holds. The Place in queue column will show you what your place in line is for holds. If your hold is ready to download, a Download button will appear in the Download column. You can download your hold directly from here.
