See the Slack Left on Every Library Hold
Holds expire quietly on different branch windows. Subtract the days a hold has waited from its own pickup window and see which family errand is already overdue.
1 · hold | days since ready | branch pickup window days
FIRST-LOAD
Input is processed locally and a draft is saved automatically in this browser profile when storage is available. Reset to sample clears that draft; Pro history has its own clear button. A state link encodes your inputs in its URL: share only non-sensitive rows. Browser history, clipboard and anyone receiving the link may retain it. Optional AI use below leaves this device; it is not required.
Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the hold shelf timer: your hold | days since ready | branch pickup window days stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.
Perspective: Before: Each branch sets its own shelf time. After: the hold shelf timer shows the working beside each named row so the reader can change the assumption and inspect the consequence.
2 · Read the hold shelf timer
Countdown arithmetic on notices you read yourself. Not connected to any library system; renewal rules and hold policies belong to the branch.

Boundary and sources
Countdown arithmetic on notices you read yourself. Not connected to any library system; renewal rules and hold policies belong to the branch.
- Method: The biography waited ten days on a seven-day window: minus three. The summary reports the smallest slack across holds, so the worst shelf leads the list. Confirm with the library whether an expired hold can be renewed or must be re-requested.
- All sample records are invented examples. The app does not fetch measurements, policies, files or personal records.
- Google’s official pricing page, fetched 2026-09-28, lists free-tier access including AI Studio. Optional formatting only; limits and availability can change. Free-tier content may be used to improve products. Never paste private records there.
Mechanism: competence-autonomy-loop
Optional AI formatting, not calculation
For this hold shelf timer, use the free AI Studio interface only if available to you, with no paid API key. Manual entry completes the same workflow for free. Supply only fictional or non-sensitive notes. Review its output against the source; never paste unresolved questions into the numeric rows.
Format my non-sensitive notes for a hold shelf timer. Return plain rows only: hold | days since ready | branch pickup window days. Preserve supplied quantities exactly. Do not guess missing values; list questions separately. Do not calculate or add advice. I will check every row before pasting into the local tool.
Accepted schema: hold | days since ready | branch pickup window days. No AI response is executed as code.
