Details

Scroll or swipe side-to-side to move through your shelves. When you find something interesting, tap the cover art to open the item details and read the description. Log in for additional options: add the item to a list, place it on hold, or locate it on a library map. Tap outside the details view or hit ESC on the keyboard to close it.

  • You're browsing by Newest, but your library hasn't added any items in the last 180 days.

  • The library you're searching in doesn't have any items. Unlikely, but possible.
