Diana Chard @dianachard.bsky.social · 19/03/2026All my library holds came in at once so now I have to quit my job to read. 4481844
Alli.Aubin @aaubin.bsky.social · 20/03/2026This happened to me - 6 books suddenly popped up in 2 days. Just an outrage of riches. 040
Karen Bystrom @bookdragon-queen.bsky.social · 20/03/2026Now that I’m retired, managing my hold list (pausing and restarting holds, adding new books) is my part time job. 0120
yewknow.bsky.social @yewknow.bsky.social · 20/03/2026A week ago, I stopped in at our local bookstore. I bought a stack of books. Do you read a lot, someone asked? I try, but these books aren’t for reading right now. I have library books to get through. 011
MISTRESS ANGIE @angiekinkyprincess.bsky.social · 20/03/2026Oh no my lobster is too buttery etc etc 010
Ann @eiramnnab.bsky.social · 20/03/2026I swear that happens every time I have more than 3 books on hold. They all become available with a 24 hour period. Makes it a challenge that I can’t turn down. 080
Stephen Sposato @stephensposato.bsky.social · 20/03/2026There ought to be a form of leave one could take. A Federal Readers Leave Act? (FRLA)? 020
Andi the butch abolitionist (she/he/they) @andi.publichearth.com · 20/03/2026This keeps happening to me & it’s been way more stressful than i anticipated 010
Sam Handwhich @mjrtom05.bsky.social · 20/03/2026Don't say it too loud I'm afraid they're going to come for libraries next 220

cynthsegar.bsky.social @cynthsegar.bsky.social · 20/03/2026😂I had 3 holds come in on the last two days. I am already reading two books and listening to one. I get it!!! 020
Justin Free @truthtellsitself.bsky.social · 20/03/2026I really hope so. No one should spend these years on any clock. Not when monkey wrenching the system is free. 010
majic @majic223.bsky.social · 20/03/2026It’s an easy fix. When you go get the holds. Go to the circulation desk and tell the clerk you want to suspend the holds for X amount of time. Once that time has expired your hold will be put back on the item and you stay at the top of the hold list. Trust me I do it for patrons all the time 100
nejackson.bsky.social @nejackson.bsky.social · 20/03/2026That happens to me every time. I have discovered I can pause the hold on some books and actually get caught up on my reading. 011
Sharon Eaton @sharoneaton.bsky.social · 20/03/2026Just tell your employer you're taking a read of absence. 060
Garden Goddess in Vegas @vegasgg.bsky.social · 20/03/2026And, of course, no household chores until the books are read either. 110
Kit @glowglobe.bsky.social · 20/03/2026In the near future we'll reach the point where we will all have to quit our jobs and focus on survival. Read up now and be prepared 🫠 000
