Each icon on the top toolbar serves a specific purpose:

Click the magnifying glass to reveal the search and filter features which allow users to look for a specific term, title, or filter results within the library.
Click the circle arrows to refresh the page.
Click on the person icon to view profile details. This is where a user can create an account or sign in and out of an existing account. World Book strongly recommends having an individual account so the user can customize their collection and take notes!

Icons on an individual book cover allow a user to take action, or reveal information about the text.

The star icon allows a user to add the book to their Favorites. A yellow star means the eBook has been added to your favorites. Note: You must be signed in to your My World Book account to save books to Favorites.
The "i" icon reveals more information about the book such as author, publisher, lexile level, eISBN, and more. You can also find the direct link to the title and, for many titles, a downloadable quiz to accompany the text.
The headphone icon indicates that the text can be read aloud to the user. If there is not a read-aloud icon, the text cannot be read aloud.
