# The Anatomy of a Library Catalog Homepage That Keeps Patrons Browsing

[October 21, 2026](https://blog.bibliocommons.com/blog/anatomy-library-catalog-homepage)

A physical library invites patrons to browse the shelves and stumble across titles they may never have thought to search for. An online library catalog should do the same, answering not only *"Do you have this book?"*, but also, *"What do you have that I'd like?"*

With Browse and Discover, [BiblioCore](https://bibliocommons.com/solutions/bibliocore) turns the catalog homepage into a space that reflects a library community's interests and showcases the collection, making it easier for patrons to find more to read, watch, and listen to.

BiblioCommons built Browse and Discover by working directly with Partner Libraries across the US and Canada to understand what motivates a patron to start browsing. Browsing is what turns an online library visit into a relationship: a patron finds a staff pick that matches their mood or a local author they connect with. Instances like this result in more circulation of material that would otherwise sit on the shelf, and give patrons more reasons to regularly visit your online catalog.

Read on to learn how to set up a catalog homepage that encourages browsing: how to structure the page, and how curation and freshness keep it relevant.

 

## The Library Catalog Homepage Setup

Let's start with the setup. Before you think about what content to display on your catalog homepage, think about what the page should look like.

Here's an example of a standard layout we recommend.

![Anatomy of B&D Homepage](https://blog.bibliocommons.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog/Blog%20Posts/2026-10-21%20Anatomy%20of%20a%20Catalog%20Homepage/Anatomy%20of%20B%26D%20Homepage.png?width=2000&height=2000&name=Anatomy%20of%20B%26D%20Homepage.png)

*Columbus Metropolitan Library's Browse and Discover homepage combines featured collections, navigation links, and curated book lists to help patrons explore more of what their library offers.*

 

### The Top of the Page (Above the Fold)

You've probably heard the term "above the fold": it's the area at the top of a webpage, before a user has to scroll.

The top of your homepage holds the most potential. It’s the first thing patrons see, and the moment you’re most likely to have their full attention. That makes it worth being intentional about what greets them.

If the top of your homepage contains a search bar with little else, you're telling patrons that this is a place to look something up and leave. Fill that space with something relevant and compelling, and you're telling them it's a place worth exploring.

 

### List Hero and Navigation

**We recommend placing a List Hero row at the top of your library catalog homepage, followed by a Navigation row.**

A List Hero row is designed for the top of the page. It places a featured list in the largest, left-hand position, so patrons get a strong, deliberate welcome the moment they land.

Directly below, we recommend a Navigation row, which gives patrons a second doorway into your collection by linking to your Browse and Discover pages.

Browse and Discover pages can be built around three types of categories:

- **Genre** answers "what else does the library have that I wouldn't think to search for?"
- **Format** answers “what can I borrow in my preferred format (like eBooks or audiobooks)?"
- **Collection** covers what doesn't fit neatly into either Genre or Format, such as the Library of Things (seed libraries, tool libraries, video games, toys, etc.)

Each of these hands a patron something a search box wouldn't: a genre they browse on the shelves but never think to type in, a format they didn't know the library carried, a collection that only makes sense for your community. Categories can go two levels deep (Fiction, then Thrillers, for example), so patrons can keep narrowing down as they browse.

![GenreSetup](https://blog.bibliocommons.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog/Blog%20Posts/2026-10-21%20Anatomy%20of%20a%20Catalog%20Homepage/GenreSetup.png?width=1280&height=614&name=GenreSetup.png)

*A diagram of a two-level genre structure. “Genre” branches into six categories, such as Fiction and Movies, and each has three subcategories, like Thrillers or Comedy. A second level lets patrons narrow from a broad interest to a specific one, much like moving along the shelves.*

 

### Build the Rows (Below the Fold)

Below the fold, the page is built from individual rows. To keep patrons scrolling, variety matters most: a page of rows that all look the same gives patrons little reason to keep going.

In addition to the List Hero and Navigation rows, Browse and Discover gives you four more row types to work with:

- **Catalog Title row** – up to eight titles pulled from a search query
- **List Title** **row** – the same idea, pulled from a List your staff already maintains
- **List Card row** – two to four lists shown as visual cards
- **Link row** – up to twelve themed buttons

Every row is another chance to put something in front of a patron they wouldn't have searched for, so the more the page invites scrolling, the more of your collection patrons discover.

Some design best practices to keep in mind:

- **Mix up row types.** Don't stack the same row type back-to-back. Keep in mind that Catalog Title and List Title rows look the same to patrons even though they're built differently on the back end.
- **Use grey row backgrounds sparingly.** A grey background can break up a dense page or draw attention to a specific row, but it loses its effect if you use it too often.

See how a couple of our Preview Partner libraries set up their Browse and Discover homepages: [Columbus Metropolitan Library](https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/browse) and [San Antonio Public Library](https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/browse) (pictured in the GIF below).

![BrowseAndDiscover\_Scroll](https://blog.bibliocommons.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog/Blog%20Posts/2026-10-21%20Anatomy%20of%20a%20Catalog%20Homepage/BrowseAndDiscover_Scroll.gif?width=1920&height=1080&name=BrowseAndDiscover_Scroll.gif)

*A GIF scrolling through San Antonio Public Library’s Browse and Discover homepage. It starts at a List Hero row and a Navigation row, then moves through title rows broken up by Link rows. The Link rows change the pace between title rows, which gives patrons a reason to keep scrolling.*

## Make It Effective with Curation and Regular Updates

Now that you have a plan for your homepage's setup, the next step is deciding what content goes on it. Two things matter most: curation, and keeping it current.

 

### Curation

Every library's community is different, and your homepage should reflect that.

Most patrons already know the library carries bestsellers, and they can search for those. What they don't always know is everything *else* on the shelves, and that's the gap curation is built to close.

Here are a few questions worth sitting with as you plan your rows:

- What's a unique collection at your library that patrons might not think to look for?
- Is there a hyper-local resource, a community archive, or a local author shelf worth highlighting?
- What's coming up on the calendar (a season, a holiday, a local event) that your homepage should showcase?
- What's dominating conversations right now (a new release, an awards announcement, a show everyone's talking about) that your collection can answer?
- What's already popular that could anchor a row of read-alikes?
- What's sitting on the shelf that deserves more attention than it's getting?
- What have patrons been asking about at the desk that a row could answer for them?
- What does your staff know about this community that a purely data-driven pick would miss?

Think about row order, too. Grouping related rows, like a kids' row next to a teens' row, makes the page feel intentional.

Curated well, your library catalog homepage becomes a snapshot of what your community cares about right now.

 

### Keeping It Current

A homepage that changes keeps earning return visits. One that stays the same gives patrons less reason to scroll, stay, or come back.

Keeping your homepage fresh doesn't mean rebuilding it every week. Browse and Discover includes tools that do some of the work for you:

- [Catalog Title rows,](https://partnerportal.bibliocommons.com/hc/en-us/articles/51699514336660-BiblioCore-Browse-and-Discover-Search-Queries-for-Popular-Catalog-Title-Rows) which pull from search queries and update automatically as your collection changes, so content stays current without staff touching it.
- Up to 30 homepages per site, so you can prepare seasonal or topical homepages in advance and switch to them when the time comes.
- Duplication, so you can copy an existing homepage and adjust it instead of starting from scratch.

 

## Use Data to Understand What Works

The best practices in this guide are a starting point for building your first Browse and Discover homepage. Every community is different, though, and what works for one library might not work for another.

Regularly reviewing your library's data is the best way to understand what's working and where you can improve. To learn more, watch our webinar recording: [The Evolution of Discovery: Curate Your Patron Experience and Increase Engagement with Browse and Discover.](https://resources.bibliocommons.com/webinar-the-evolution-of-discovery)

Not sure where to start? Your homepage doesn’t need to be finished on day one. Start with the top of the page, then build a few rows with real curation behind them.

## Frequently Asked Questions

 

### **What is a library catalog homepage?**

It's the landing page patrons see when they visit your library's online catalog, often the first page of your digital branch. It combines search with curated content, like featured lists, genre categories, and staff picks, so patrons can either look for something specific or browse until something catches their interest.

 

### **What's the difference between browsing and searching a library catalog?**

Searching works when a patron already knows what they want and can describe it: a title, an author, a keyword. Browsing works when they're not sure what they’re looking for. A genre page, a curated list, or a themed row hands them a starting point instead of asking them for one. A good catalog makes room for both.

 

### **What are browse categories, and how are genre, format, and collection different?**

Browse categories are groupings on the catalog homepage that let patrons explore the collection without searching for a specific title. There are three types: genre, format, and collection. Genre categories group titles by type (mystery, romance, biography) and are the broadest way into a collection. Format categories group by the physical or digital form an item takes (eBook, audiobook, DVD), while collection categories cover what a library defines on its own, from a seed library to a local history archive. Categories can go up to two levels deep, though a subcategory is optional.

 

### **How many homepages can a library build?**

Your library can build up to 30 Browse and Discover homepages, created per enabled language, with only one active for patrons at a time. The rest sit in ‘Draft’ status until you're ready to switch to them, which makes it realistic to plan ahead for seasons, holidays, or local events.

 

### **How often should a library update its catalog homepage?**

Libraries should update their Browse and Discover homepage regularly enough that a returning patron sees something new. That doesn't require a full rebuild each time; refreshing a few rows, swapping in a seasonal category, or updating the lists a row pulls from is often enough to keep the page feeling current.

 

### **Does updating the homepage require a developer or IT ticket?**

Updating your Browse and Discover homepage does not require a developer or IT ticket with BiblioCommons. Staff with the assigned permissions have full control over creating homepages and configuring Browse categories.
