BookFusion offers organizations the ability to list their digital libraries as public, giving readers the ability to view and join those libraries in order to access their digital materials. Some of these libraries are publicly listed and can be joined by anyone, and some are private and you'll have to be invited to them by the organization admin. This help article will go over how to find and join libraries that are public.

Joining a Library on the Web

To view and join any available libraries on BookFusion from the web, just click the Libraries option in the top navigation bar and you'll be shown any available options. In the example below you'll see two that are available to anyone, and one that is available with a paid subscription. For this walk-through I'll be choosing the first option displayed for the Ministry of Education Youth & Information library.

Once opened, you'll be presented with the library's page that will show you all their books and the various shelves they've created to help organize all their content for you. On the left you'll see a "Join Library" button beneath the library's logo, and clicking that will prompt you to confirm you want to join. Once confirmed, you'll be able to borrow and read any content they have listed.

Joining a Library on iOS

To access the Libraries screen on iOS you'll need to tap the three horizontal bars at the top left of the app to see the navigation menu, then choose Libraries from the options that appear.

Once on the Libraries screen you'll be able to view the Libraries tab to see what options are available to join. For this walk-through I'll be choosing the first option displayed for the Ministry of Education Youth & Information library. When tapped on it will prompt you to confirm you want to join the library like the screenshot below, then take you in to view the available books.

Once you confirm you want to join, you'll be able to borrow and read any content they have listed by tapping on any book you're interested in.

Joining a Library on Android

To access the Libraries screen on Android you'll need to tap the three horizontal bars at the top left of the app to see the navigation menu, then choose Libraries from the options that appear.

Once on the Libraries screen you'll be able to view the Browse Libraries tab to see what options are available to join. For this walk-through I'll be choosing the first option displayed for the Ministry of Education Youth & Information library. When tapped on it will prompt you to confirm you want to join the library, then take you in to view the available books.

Once you confirm you want to join, you'll be able to borrow and read any content they have listed by tapping on any book you're interested in.

Leaving a Library

If you ever want to leave a library that you joined, that's easy to do. And don't worry, if you change your mind you can always re-join all libraries that are public at any time in the future.

Web

When you are viewing a library that you've joined, you'll see the library's logo on the left of the page and right below that will be a "Leave Library" button.  If you click this and confirm that you're wanting to leave, the library will be removed from your page of current library memberships.

Android

To leave a library on Android, open the Libraries screen using the slide out menu on the left, then on the My Library Membership tab just tap and hold on the library you're wanting to remove. You'll be prompted with a confirmation message, and when you click "OK" you'll no longer see that library in your list unless you choose to join it again.
