Have an agent request books from your library

An always-on agent chose library titles from one request, placed the holds, and the county library emailed when pickup was ready.

Done with Meta Museยท Intermediateยท Oct 2026

What they did
Eleanor Konik used Meta Muse and saved her library card login in a locked credential store that the agent could use only on the proper site. She gave it a single instruction, like asking for chess books for a bright 6-year-old. Muse then selected the titles and submitted the hold requests through the county library website.
How it went
A few days later, the county library sent an email saying the books were ready, and she collected them. The source does not give a title count or mention any failures for this task.
Tips
Use a credential setup that limits where the agent can sign in. For any task that can change an account or place an order, have the agent pause and ask before it commits the final action.

Try it yourself with Meta Muse

I need [number] books about [topic] for [reader] from [library website]. Search for good matches that can be borrowed, then prepare the hold requests with my library account. First, list the titles you want to use and wait until I approve them; only after my approval, place the holds and confirm they were submitted.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
