Creating a Lane

Reminder: a list must be created before creating a lane! To begin, click on Lanes at the top of the screen. The Lane Manager is on the left side of the screen. In this area, you can create new top-level lanes, sublanes, move existing sublanes to a top-level lane, hide or show top-level lanes, and reorder lanes. Please note that when you click on “Create Top-Level Lane” or “Create Sublane” the screen on the right will change to reflect the type of lane you want to create.

Lane Visibility

You can hide lanes at your choosing. Simply click on the “Visible” button to the right of the lane to hide the lane. To turn the visibility back on, click on the “Hidden” button. Hidden lanes will not be accessible to patrons in the Palace mobile app but allow lanes to be created in advance for special reading campaigns, local events, or other reading initiatives.
