Ohio Digital Library Update

Beginning May 15, 2025, the Ohio Digital Library (ODL) is updating the holds limit per cardholder from a maximum of 30 holds to 20 holds. These limits were increased in 2020 to help meet demand. After 5 years of sustained demand, increasing digital material prices, and the possibility of library funding changes, the current holds limit is not sustainable. By lowering the hold limit, we also hope to help reduce wait times.
