Hey series readers, Libby has a new feature just for you

Posted by Melody on Friday, Dec 29, 2017

A new feature in Libby has made finding the next book in that series you're reading even easier. The biggest improvement is this little icon added to the bottom right of the book cover, making it plain and easy to see which book number that title is. I am notoriously bad at knowing which Harry Potter book is which number, and with this trick, I never have to.

They also have improved their metadata for many popular titles and have made series information very visible for books you have on your Shelf already. Tap on the book cover, find "View Title Details," then scroll down and tap on the SERIES line.

To make full use of this option, make sure that you are looking for ALL titles, and not just the available ones. If you tap REFINE and see the message "Unavailable titles are hidden," tap the X next to that message so you are not accidentally limiting your results.

Check out these screenshots that follow. Having trouble? Get at us!

I've been at the library for more than 10 years now, and I still find joy when choosing the best books for our readers. My current reading journey is taking me book by book through different genres. I'm challenging myself to find books that are enough outside my wheelhouse that I'd pass them by on first glance. The genre I'm looking forward to... more

  • Among thieves

    by M. J. Kuhn

    SCIENCE FICTION Kuhn M. J.
    Fantasy

    "In just over a year's time, Ryia Cautella has already earned herself a reputation as the quickest, deadliest blade in the dockside city of Carrowwick--not to mention the sharpest tongue. But Ryia Cautella is not her real name. For the past six years, a deadly secret has kept her in hiding, running from town to town, doing whatever it takes to stay one step ahead of the formidable Guildmaster--the sovereign ruler of the five kingdoms of Thamorr. No matter how far or fast she travels, his servants never fail to track her down...but even the most powerful men can be defeated. Ryia's path now leads directly into the heart of the Guildmaster's stronghold, and against every instinct she has, it's not a path she can walk alone. Forced to team up with a crew of assorted miscreants, smugglers, and thieves, Ryia must plan her next moves very carefully. If she succeeds, her freedom is won once and for all...but unfortunately for Ryia, her new allies are nearly as selfish as she is, and they all have plans of their own"--Amazon.

    This novel falls under the dark fantasy and adventure genres--one I haven't read much of, usually sticking to urban or paranormal fantasy. And it's a heist novel! A plot style I've only read in Janet Evanovich's co-authored mystery books. So that checks off three appeal factors from my list that I don't usually gravitate towards. And what did I get with this exploration? There's a whole lotta brutal killing in this book--with hatchets--but the protagonist only kills bad guys, so it's not too different from Luke blowing up all those Stormtroopers left on the Death Star. All that is a far cry from my usual rom-coms and women's fiction stories. But it's good to get out of my comfort zone! Especially during summer, when adventure can loom on every horizon. -Melody
