To access your library, tap the Library button on the NOOK Navigation Menu.
Pull-down Menus
To help you quickly find what you’re looking for, the Library on your NOOK features a couple of pull-down menus that let you select which contents to display and how to display them.
The Category Menu
The category menu (sometimes called the filter menu) is a pull-down menu in the upper left corner of the Library lets you select the Library contents you want to display.
Your choices include:

The Sort Menu
The sort menu is a pull-down menu that lets you sort the content shown on the screen according to rules such as Most Recent, Title (an alphabetical listing of titles), or Author (an alphabetical listing of authors’ last names).
The Sync Button
