Move between your full collection and the queues that need attention now.

The Library has two complementary views.
Collection
Collection is your full book shelf. Use book-type tabs, search, sorting, grouping, view controls, and filters to shape what you see. Open a card to work with that book.
On a phone, the top row is only the Reading desk / Collection switch and settings gear. In Collection, tap the Search icon for global search or tap Quick filters to choose from the same starred built-in and custom filters used on your Collection shelf. Star or unstar filters in that sheet to change your cross-device quick set. Create and edit custom filters from Library settings. Open More options for Arrange shelf, the full Filter Studio, Color Legend, grid columns, and Refresh.
Reading Desk
Reading Desk organizes active work into focused queues. Depending on your books and opportunities, you may see:
- Needs attention for review or promotion work that needs a decision
- Requested ARCs for requests still awaiting a copy
- Due this week for commitments in the next seven days
- Reading now for current progress
- application and direct-offer queues when those items exist
On a phone, use the queue picker at the top of Reading Desk. On larger screens, use the Reading Desk navigation beside the queue.
Open the settings gear at the top of Library for one settings surface. It includes the Library start behavior, the chosen Reading Desk or Collection start view, the default Collection tab, appearance, browsing, hidden states, series stacks, custom filters, and book defaults.
