You can cancel a hold on a book by calling (208) 496-9522. The library assistant that answers the phone should be able to remove the hold for you.  

Alternatively, you can go to the library catalog at https://byui.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/main. Here you should see a tab a labeled "My Account". If you click that tab, you should see a new tab called "Holds". This "holds" tab should show all the books you have placed on hold. Select the checkbox next to the book you no longer need, and click cancel. The book should disappear from your list.
