# Working with Libraries

Books stored in &app; can be grouped into different collections, called libraries. For instance, you may have one library for all your novels, and other for your programming manuals. &app; allows you to create, edit, and move books between libraries.

Available libraries are listed in the Library pane at the left of the main &app; window. If you cannot see the library pane, open it with View Side Pane. You can close it again with the same menu option, or by clicking the Close icon in the top right of the library pane.

## Renaming a library

To rename a library, simply click on its name in the Library pane, and type in the new name. You can also right-click on the library name, and select Rename from the pop-up menu.

## Deleting a library

To delete a library, select the library in the library pane, either right-click and select Delete, choose Edit Delete from the main menu, or press the
