Finding Materials
- To browse for a new book, tap the building at the bottom of the screen. This will show various collections of books.
- To look for a genre, format, or availability, tap the menu at the top. Then, choose the tags that describe what you're looking for. This narrows the search.
- To search for a specific author or title, tap the magnifying glass at the bottom. You can also narrow the results by tapping the menu.

Once you see a book you want to borrow, look to the right. Right next to the book will be one of three options:
- Borrow: This material is available! Tap "borrow" to read now.
