# Customizing the Look and Feel of Your Library
> **Librera** allows you to adjust the way your books are displayed on the "shelves" of your Library. You can change the number of books on a shelf, their appearance, shelf size, book grouping and listing, etc.
Your books are shown in the _Library_ tab, where you can make adjustments to the book presentation. Additional settings affecting your Library view are located in the slide-out _Preferences_ tab, the _Book Covers_ panel.
* To change the book layout (list, grid, condensed, etc.), tap on the hamburger icon in the upper right corner of the _Library_ tab
* Swipe right from the left edge of the screen to open the _Preferences_ tab
> If you have the _Preferences_ box checked (no animation), you will find the _Preferences_ tab alongside the _Library_ tab on top.
* Swipe down and find the _Book Covers_ panel
