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 Save.
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.
5. Tap the checkbox next to any item to you want to add to the shelf you just created.
Use the page up and down buttons on your NOOK to scroll through the list. As you add items to the library,
your NOOK updates the number which appears in parentheses by the shelf 's name, indicating the number of
items on the shelf.
6. When you have finished adding items to the shelf, tap the Save button in the lower right corner of the screen.
7. Your NOOK creates the shelf and returns you to the main My Shelves screen, which displays all your shelves.

To add items to a shelf or to remove items from a shelf, do this:
