Keep entire encyclicals, catechism editions, and other sources for quick access.
May 11, 2026
My Library is where you keep the source documents you want to come back to — encyclicals, council documents, the Catechism, theological works, and anything else in our library.
Save a document
- Click any citation in an answer, or open a document from the Source Library.
- In the document viewer, click the Save button (bookmark icon).
- The document is added to My Library → Documents.

Open My Library
- Open the sidebar and click My Library.
- On the Documents tab, you'll see everything you've saved.
Removing a saved document
- Open My Library → Documents and click the remove icon on any row.
- Or re-open the document in the viewer and toggle Save off.
What's different from bookmarking
A saved document is the whole work — all of Laudato Si', for example. If you want to remember a specific paragraph or section, bookmark it as a page instead. See Bookmarking pages in My Library.
