When using Librarika, here are a few tips and hints to enhance your experience:

Since all of our circulation is related to Orchids use specific terms to search.
On the Catalog page, selecting “Category” will limit the books to everything in that category; for example “Orchid culture” vs “Genera”.
All of our books have descriptions, some provided by the publisher and others drafted from the book. Select “Search Catalog” on the top menu, then select the last item in the search bar “Description” to search for the widest descriptions in the database. Then explore the other search options like author, publisher, and title.

Other General library usage tips:

Verify your account details: Ensure your personal info like contact details and address are updated on your library account.
Place holds: If a book is unavailable, place a hold to be notified when it becomes available.
