My Library for PC

Students and book enthusiasts who organize their reading across multiple devices benefit most from running My Library on a desktop computer. This free, ad-free application connects to your Google Books library, letting you manage shelves, search millions of titles, and download public-domain books all from one place. On PC, you can keep My Library open alongside research notes or writing projects, making it simple to reference your collection without switching between small screens.

My Library bridges your Google Books account and your PC workflow. The app displays your existing shelves, recommended titles after login, and search results in two view styles (card or list) so you can pick what works best for your reading session. When you're building a research library or browsing for your next read, My Library on PC keeps everything accessible without leaving your desk.

Searching and Organizing Your Books

My Library lets you search by ISBN, author name, title, subject, or publisher, then sort results by relevance or release date, much as school attendance tracking benefits from centralizing data in one desktop view rather than juggling smartphone notifications. You can also narrow searches to free books, paid books, or both, and adjust how many results appear per page (10, 20, 30, or 40). The app preserves your last ten searches, so you don't have to type the same query twice.

1. Log in with your Google account to access your existing shelves and recommendations
2. Use the search bar to find books by ISBN, author, title, subject, or publisher
3. Filter results by availability (free or paid) and sort by relevance or release date
4. Add or remove books directly from your Google Books libraries within the app
5. Export shelves as XML to back them up or share with friends
6. Import shelves exported from My Library or Google Books' web interface

Reading and Sharing from Your Library

When you find a book, My Library shows a free sample preview in fullscreen mode so you can read before committing. You can also share individual books and entire shelves with friends, access purchase links if available in your region, and explore topics of interest to discover new titles. Public-domain books can be downloaded directly to your device, and those who want to borrow digital books online from library collections have dedicated options for that too. The app displays educational quotes and works on both phones and tablets, making your library portable whenever you step away from your PC.
