Patricia Clark Memorial library filter request
First, thank you to those involved in creating and maintaining this library, and its contents. It is a high qualtiy, wonderful resource.
My specific request is if the book lists could be filtered by language. They can currently be filtered by format (e.g. EPUB) and by genre. They can also be sorted by various other tags. Since we have a healty miultilanguage library, it would be very convenient to also filter by language. If this can be done some way today, I withdraw my suggestion and apologize for my ignorance. Thanks for your time, Herm |

Book creators uploading non-English books are asked to give the language name in the title line so you should be able to use the search function and insert the specific language you are looking for.
As far as I am aware not all or better only a few uploaders tag their books with a language tag. So you can use tags for searching but you will only find a part of all books available. A table of all German books available at MobileRead you find here: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Free_eBooks-de/de |

The search option works pretty well for non-english books but not for English ones. At some future point likely years away a new database will solve this problem. Meanwhile what would you think of a language specific subforum? English would be in the main format specific forum and other languages in subforums.

Anything that makes life easy for all....I recall there was to be a revamp of the library, presumably that's a long work in a long time project....
