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. Your
NOOK Color includes one shelf by default: Favorites.
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.

1. In the Library, tap the My Shelves icon.
