Can I create and save custom reading lists?

Yes! Our system makes it easy to create and organize personalized reading lists. Here’s how:

  1. Saving Items to Your List:
    While searching the catalog, you can click ‘Save for Later’ on any item. This automatically adds the item to a list called ‘Uncategorized.’ Once you’ve saved an item, the button will change to say ‘View List.’ Clicking this will take you directly to your saved list.

  2. Viewing Your Lists:
    To access all your saved items, go to your dashboard and select the ‘My Lists’ tab. Everything you’ve saved will appear in the ‘Uncategorized’ list.

  3. Creating and Managing Multiple Lists:
    To create custom lists (e.g., “To Be Read” or “Cozy Thrillers”), go to the ‘My Lists’ page and click the ‘Add List’ button at the top of the screen. You can give your new list a unique name. Note that the ‘Uncategorized’ list cannot be renamed or deleted.

  4. Organizing Items in Your Lists:
    From the ‘Uncategorized’ list, click the three vertical dots next to any item to open a menu. This allows you to:

    • Remove the item from your list.
    • Move the item to another list.
    • Copy the item to a different list.
  5. Placing Holds from Your Lists:
    You can reserve items directly from your lists! Just click the ‘Reserve’ button beneath the item you want to place on hold.

With these features, you can organize your reading goals, track favorite genres, and easily manage your library materials!

What is the "Watching" tab, and how does it work?

The “Watching” tab allows you to save and track books, authors, subjects, or series you’re interested in, so you’ll be notified when new materials matching your criteria are added to the catalog. Here’s how to set it up:

  1. Go to the ‘Watching’ tab in your account.
  2. Choose a category to watch: author, subject, or series title.
  3. Enter the specific term you want to track (e.g., a favorite author or book series).
