Create flexible libraries

District and site-level administrators can create flexible libraries to support titles at a site that are independent of a classroom or school library. For example, maybe your school has books in the guidance office or a stand-alone reading quad area.

Once you create a flexible library, you can add books to it, as well as edit, delete, or export it.

Note: Administrators can create a maximum of 25 flexible libraries per site. If you attempt to create more than 25, you'll be asked to delete one before creating a new one.
