I do this, too. Have done so for years, even before I began reading digital books.

One caution, though, that I came across this week and that surprised me: one of my library systems (I forget which - maybe Queens Library in NY, whose search engine searches all the library's platforms and catalogs at once) says recommending a book doesn't automatically place it on hold; the recommender must take the additional step to put the book on hold.
