|---|---|

| Reading | You’re actively reading this book |
| Paused | You’ve started but set it aside for now |
| Completed | You’ve finished reading |

Viewing Your Reading Collection
Section titled “Viewing Your Reading Collection”Open Collection to see all your books. Use the status filter to narrow to:
- Reading — What you’re actively reading
- Paused — Books you’ve set aside
- Completed — Books you’ve finished
- Want to Read — Your reading wishlist
Marking a Book as Complete
Section titled “Marking a Book as Complete”- Open the book’s detail page
- Tap the progress area and set it to 100%, or tap Mark as Completed
- The book moves to your Completed filter
Completing a book may also update your progress in any active reading plans you’ve joined.
How Your Reading Status Is Shared
Section titled “How Your Reading Status Is Shared”When you update a book’s status, you’re sending a small social signal to other members of your libraries. On any book’s detail page, members see four rows of community activity:
- Favorited by — members who marked the book as a favorite
- Want to read — members who added it to their want-to-read list
- Reading — members currently reading it
- Completed — members who have finished it
Each row shows a short stack of member avatars; tap a row to see the full list. Library admins can also see aggregate counts of which books their members want to read, so they know what to add to the library next. If you have a book on your want-to-read list and your library stocks it, you’ll get a one-time notification letting you know it’s available to borrow.
If you’d rather not appear in those rows, your privacy setting in Settings → Privacy controls whether your name is visible to other members. The setting protects you from other members but not from the admins of the libraries you’ve joined — admins always see the activity in their own library.
- Your reading streak (consecutive days with any reading activity) appears on your home page
- Completed books count toward library reading challenges automatically
- You can change a book’s status at any time — even move a completed book back to “Currently Reading”
