Downloading only the books one needs

I have amassed almost 3500 books in many years of being a Logos user.  I only use the sermon prep items, especially those that are language oriented.  Is there a way to not keep all of the books in my library on my computer?  If so, how do I delete the 1000+ I'll never use but keep them stored at Logos for future use if necessary?  Thanks for your time and thoughts.

    The only way at the moment is to "hide" them - details at https://wiki.logos.com/Hiding_Books 

    Hiding books removes them from your local library and your hard drive but they can be restored from Logos servers (note that while you can hide multiple books at a time restoring them is one at a time and so can be quite lengthy).

    Are you wanting to remove them to save space, reduce indexing time, make it easy to scan through your library or something else?

    There may be techniques to help with what you are trying to do without having to actually remove the books

    Graham:

    Thanks for the welcome and the reply.  I'm trying to save hard drive space but faster speed wouldn't hurt anything.  All of the updates and extras use up a lot of disk space.  I'll look at the link you gave me.  Have a blessed Christmas.
