Organizing Your Library on Shelves
In addition to views of all your books, magazines, and newspapers, your Library also includes a feature called My
Shelves where you create named collections of books, periodicals, and files. A shelf is a group of items that you have
collected under a common name, such as Mysteries or Cookbooks. You can give a shelf any name you like.
A book, periodical, or file can appear in as many shelves as you like. For example, if your favorite book is a mystery
novel, you could include it on your Favorites shelf as well as on a new shelf you create called Mysteries.
Creating a Shelf
To create a shelf, do this:
1. In the Library, tap the category menu and select
My Shelves
.
2. Tap the
Add Shelf
button.
A dialog box appears.
3. Tap in the text field in the dialog box. When a keyboard appears, type the name of the shelf you want to create.
4. Tap

Your NOOK creates the shelf, then displays a list of all the items in your Library. It also displays a number in
parentheses, indicating how many items are currently in the shelf. When you first create the shelf, this number is
zero.
