Calibre web doesn't have an automatic library scan feature, so by default you have to modify the associated Calibre database yourself. However it's possible to instead setup a service which can monitor a directory for changes. After which it triggers a script to import new books. This removes the need to setup something like 'Calibre Content Server'.
## Fully automated setup
If you prefer to have a full calibre-web instance that implements auto import (but without readarr implementation built in), view [Calibre-web Automated](https://github.com/jmarmstrong1207/Calibre-Web-Auto). Otherwise, follow the instructions below.
## Pre-requisites
Before even going through this, check if all you need is to import multiple books at once. You can do this by shift-clicking in the upload window when selecting your books to upload.
This example is based on using Readarr to download books, but you could easily adapt these steps to fit your own process.
