Finding Your Way Around a Family's Library

What each tab means when someone shares their library link with you.

Someone shared their library link with you. There is no account to create and nothing to download: just open the link and browse.

1

Open the link they sent you, which looks like getfirstchapterco.com/their-family.

2

The "Our Library" tab shows the books they own. Check here before buying so you do not duplicate something.

3

The "Wish List" tab shows the books they are hoping for. This is the best place to shop from.

4

Use the search bar, or the age filter, to narrow a long shelf down to one child's age range.

5

Some families also have a "Gift Log" tab, for recording a book you gave them, and a "Recommend a Book" tab, for suggesting a title they might love. Both have their own guides back on the How-To Guides page.

Good to know

Save the link. It never changes, so the same link works for every birthday and holiday from now on.
