 +==== Browsing within your library ====
 +You can browse users within your library using the "​Browse library users" section in the [[connections:​functionality:​friends|My friends]] box on your Connections home page. This will show you all users registered through the same library as you. You can browse the list, or search by name/email, and click any user's name to go through to their profile. By each user in the list, there is also the "add to friends"​ button.
