Creating Lists

Did you know you can create lists in our catalogue of the books you’d like to read, or that you can find out what titles we have on order (so you can quickly place a hold?).

You can! We’ve put together a couple of quick and easy tips so you can take advantage of our main catalogue.

If you’re TBR pile is a mile long, but you can’t help but browse our catalogue, feel free to make a list of the titles you’d list to read, watch or listen to. Here’s how:
