Expired metered access titles with holds: 63 titles with 173 people waiting on them. There is a cart in Overdrive marketplace called Look at this Cart – that has the titles with exp metered access with holds.

I’ve purchased all the titles that had any Natrona County holds and Washakie has purchased all that had any Washakie holds. (When possible I purchased 100 simultaneous holds). However, that left 63 titles that still need to be repurchased or the holds removed and titles weeded.

Almost every county has patrons with holds on some of these titles. Let me know if you need me to show you how to see if your patrons have holds on specific titles. (Obviously some titles have multiple county patrons with holds and only 1 copy needs to be purchased, but some counties have multiple patrons with holds waiting on the titles).

Titles that are not moved to another cart for purchase in the next week will be removed from the collection.

Also “Midnight Library” in ebook has 26 holds. I did purchase one copy, but last year it checked out 577 times and it has lifetime checkouts of 1,588 so a few more copies probably wouldn’t hurt 😊

Enjoy the warm weather while it lasts! – thanks, Kate
