Press release from the Acton Memorial Library:

June 2, 2021

If you are planning on being away, you can use the "Freeze" (suspend) Holds option in My Account so that items don’t arrive while you are away. You will not lose your place in the request queue by freezing a request. When you unfreeze your request you will be restored to your previous place in line.

This option works best when your request is part of a long waiting list for an item.
