Understanding featured books

Featured books are admin-curated picks that appear near the top of a library page — a quick way to surface the reads your community shouldn’t miss. If no books have been featured yet, this section is hidden.

Open any library you belong to. If admins have featured anything, you’ll see a Featured Books rail near the top of the page. Each card shows the cover, title, author, an optional note on why it’s featured, and how many members are currently reading it.

Tap the book card to open the book’s detail page and request to borrow it.

Featured picks can have an expiration date, so the books rotate over time. To see what your library has featured in the past, tap Past featured in the section header. This opens a full history, so a book you spotted last month doesn’t disappear for good.

If the current rail is empty but the library has featured books in the past, you’ll still see the section with a quiet “no active picks right now” note and the Past featured link.

Free libraries can feature up to 3 books at a time. Paid plans allow unlimited featured books. See Subscription plans and limits for the full breakdown.
