Returning early helps to clear the queue faster so that you don't have to wait too long on your holds. For example, if you are reading a good novel but can't finish it before the loan expire, you will need to place a hold to borrow it again. Returning early when you are busy can help you too. If you do not have to read, you can return your copy early and place a hold with a delay to get back the book at a later date. Sometimes Libby will tell you that someone is waiting for your copy. This allows others to borrow the items first and help clear the waiting queue faster. Once the delay runs out, you are put back in the same relative position in the queue. This is useful if you are busy but want to read a book at a later date.
