[Koha] Is it possible to reserve available books?

Thanks for your answers! I have set up a circulation rule accordingly 
and now I'm actually able to place a hold on an available book and the 
hold can be seen in the user account.

After that I do also see the book in the list "Holds to pull placed 
between 31/01/2017 and 02/02/2017" with the following explanation: "The 
following holds have not been filled. Please retrieve them and check 
them in." But in fact the book was not checked out so I cannot check it 
in, of course.

I don't see how to "pull" the book, so it would move to the list "Holds 
awaiting pickup"...

What am I missing?

Best wishes: Michael
