Bug Description
Evergreen 3.9
It would be great if patrons could view the list of hold groups that are patron visible at their library/system and then add themselves to a hold group via the OPAC when logged into My Account.
Currently patrons can remove themselves from hold groups via the OPAC but not add themselves; only staff can add patrons to hold groups.

There is concern that allowing patrons to add themselves to a list could potentially result in them inadvertently signing up without understanding the service. Additionally, it might result in larger than expected quantities of patrons in the groups.
Patron education could help minimize this concern. Also, it could be a feature that libraries could turn on or off in the settings.
