5. **<library name>**: Actions 5, 6 etc .. give you immediate switch access between multiple Libraries that you have created or attached to. This list contains only the 5 most frequently used libraries. For the complete list, use the Quick Switch menu.
6. **Library Maintenance**: This action allows you to check the current library for data consistency issues and restore the current libraries' database from backups.
.. note:: Metadata about your ebooks like title/author/tags/etc. is stored in a single file in your |app| library folder called metadata.db. If this file gets corrupted (a very rare event), you can lose the metadata. Fortunately, |app| automatically backs up the metadata for every individual book in the book's folder as an .opf file. By using the Restore Library action under Library Maintenance described above, you can have |app| rebuild the metadata.db file from the individual .opf files for you.
