Administrators and Teachers can create a new library. To view the contents of a library, access the applicable page (e.g., to view the contents in a test library, access the Test Builder page, and select the desired test library). Once a new library has been created it can be viewed, edited, or deleted with the appropriate user access.
Note
Imagine Galileo automatically creates libraries for Teachers and other class-level users, however, users can create additional libraries if they’d like. When creating a new library a user will define who has access to the library and what type of access they will have.

- Log in to Imagine Galileo.
- Click Setup > Library Builder.
- Use the drop-down boxes to choose the school and class for which you want to create a library.
