To make a word or phrase a link, enclose it in an anchor (a) element, and in the starting tag add a "href" property with the target location as the value. For example, to make the word "Books" into a link to "library.html":

<a href="library.html">Books</a>

In this challenge, everything is already enclosed in a list item, so each addition should also be within the list item:

<li>Books</li>                             <!-- make this a link -->
<li><a href="library.html">Books</a></li>  <!-- and you get this -->
