My Library ยท Library Guide

Circulation Desk

This is where you go when you want a book or audiobook that is not already on the shelves.

What you will do here most

Search for a story and request it

Type the title, author, or series you want. Open the result, make sure it is the right book, then request it. The library will do the behind-the-scenes work of bringing it into the collection.

The usual visit

1

Sign in

Use your family-library account. You do not need an administrator account.

2

Search the catalog

Search by title, author, or other book details. Look at the cover and description to make sure you found the right story.

3

Choose what you want

Pick the book or audiobook you want. When more than one edition or release is available, you may be able to inspect the choices before requesting.

4

Request it

Send the request and let the library work. You can check your request/activity status instead of repeatedly requesting the same title.

5

Go to the right room

When it arrives, open the Reading Room for an ebook or the Listening Room for an audiobook.

Everything this desk is for

๐Ÿ”Ž Search book information

Find titles and authors and inspect available metadata before choosing.

๐Ÿ“ฆ Request one or several titles

Place a normal request, and where the interface offers it, request multiple wanted items together.

๐Ÿงพ See your requests

Review your request list and see what is waiting, active, completed, or otherwise needs attention.

โณ Follow active downloads

See active work and queue/activity information while the library is bringing something in.

โœ‹ Cancel your own request

If you change your mind, remove a request you no longer want when your account allows it.

๐Ÿ”” Personal preferences

Manage your own profile context and notification preferences where those options are enabled.

๐Ÿ“š Jump to the collection

Use the links to move from requesting into the ebook or audiobook library after an item arrives.

๐Ÿงญ Inspect editions and sources

For titles with several choices, the interface can show release/source information so you can recognize the right edition.

Good to know: the Circulation Desk is for finding and requesting. It is not where you normally read or listen. Some advanced choices appear only when your family account has permission to use them.
