Managing Your Favorite Books

What Are Favorites?

Your Favorites list is a personal collection of books you want to remember, save for later, or revisit easily. Unlike a hold, adding a book to Favorites does not reserve it — it just saves it to your personal list.

Adding a Book to Favorites

You can add a book to your Favorites from anywhere in the catalog:

1. Search for a book using Browse Catalog or AI Search.
2. Open the book's detail page by clicking on its title.
3. Click the Add to Favorites button (it may appear as a heart icon ♡).
4. The button changes to confirm the book has been saved.

Viewing Your Favorites

1. In the sidebar, go to My Library → Favorites (or navigate to /patron/favorites).
2. Your saved books appear as a list or grid.
3. Each entry shows the cover image, title, author, and current availability status.

Removing a Book from Favorites

1. Go to your Favorites page.
2. Find the book you want to remove.
3. Click the Remove button (or click the heart icon again to unmark it).
4. The book is removed from your list immediately.

What You'll See

A list of all your favorited books. If a book you saved is now available, you can click through to its detail page to borrow it or place a hold.

Tips

• Use Favorites to build a reading wish list for books that are currently checked out.
• If a book you favorited becomes available, you will not automatically be notified — place a Hold if you want to be notified and have it set aside for you.
• Favorites are private — only you can see your list.
