If your hold is about to be ready, but you aren't ready for it, you can PAUSE it and save your place in line until you unpause it.

Please note; the PAUSE/FREEZE function only works if there are multiple holds on a title. If you are the only one who has a hold on it, you will receive it as soon as it is available.

1. From our homepage www.sfpl.org, click the LOG IN/MY SFPL link located on the top, center of the screen.

2. Enter your full 14 digit library card number or user name, and PIN/password, then click LOG IN.

3. Click on YOUR USERNAME, located on the top, right side of the screen, and select ON HOLD from the drop down menu.

4. Any hold that is not in transit, or that is not ready to be picked up, can be paused by selecting the little PAUSE link near the status of the title you want to freeze.

5. You will get a pop up box telling you the hold was successfully paused.

6. It will then be separated under a separate tab called PAUSED under the MY HOLDS section.

7. To un-pause the title, just click the RESUME link next to the status of the title you want to unfreeze.

8. You will get a pop up telling you the title has been un-paused.
