A big part of the new social features is allowing users to pick which books appear on their profile page. This gives you complete control over which titles you want friends to see and be able to borrow.

Updating Individual Book Privacy

Step One

To update the visibility of a specific book in your library, you'll need to click on the book's cover to bring up the details screen. It'll look like the below, and you can see the option for visibility at the bottom of the screen.

Step Two

When you click the blue icon that states the current visibility, you'll see the options you can change it to. You can make the book visible to just your friends, people who are friends with your friends, or even a custom list of friends that you've setup.

Doing this will allow the book to show up as visible on your profile so your friends will see you own it.

Updating Bulk Book Privacy

If you know you want to make a lot of your books visible to friends, you can also bulk update them instead of doing so one at a time.

Step One

You can do this by clicking the "select" option that's visible at the top right corner of any book's cover, and once selected you can click the cover of any other book(s) you want selected, or even choose the "Select Displayed" button at the bottom of the screen to grab everything on the screen at once. Once you've selected everything you want to update, click the "Bulk Edit" option to make the changes.

Step Two

The setting for Visibility is in the top section of the Bulk Update screen, so choose if you're wanting to make the selections visible to friends or hide them from everyone but you, and then click the Update button at the bottom of the window to save the changes.
