Instead of dealing with the hold books as a whole, please try dealing with each book individually.
There are different reasons associated with each book. So the answer you get about a particular book will involve what is going on with that particular book. Just ask about any particular book and you can learn about it.

What I meant is that perhaps the "hold for" books on step 1 could have an expiration date with the option to renew their "hold for" status on step 1. The suggestion is because, really, it occurs to me that a validator for whom a book is being held could die and none of us would ever know about it. In that case, just how many years would a book remain on step 1 marked "hold for?" In a message dated 9/11/2008 1:42:18 A.M.

To repeat yesterday's message, if a volunteer finds a book with "hold for" and wants to know about it and the volunteer whose name appears on it, just write to the list and ask. We are usually polite to each other on this list. We can work things out. It just upsets folks when somebody grabs a "hold for" book without asking first. I give a lot of time to volunteering. During the past six years I have validated hundred and hundreds of books. However, I actually have a life outside of bookshare, there is a 5 book queue and there are reasons for "hold for" which others have already described. E.
