How to invoke a searchBook method to find books donated as donatedBy data attribute

I am trying to add a searchBook method that finds all the books donated as donatedBy data attribute. I have to call the searchBook method to find the books donated by "Daisy". I am having trouble finding out where to put the searchBook method so that I can call it later when I get the user input for "donor".

I have provided a snippet of my code for your convenience. Thank you very much!

public static void main(String[] args) {              Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);              System.out.print("Enter number of Books: ");              int N = scanner.nextInt();              scanner.nextLine();              Books[] books = new Books[N];                for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {                  System.out.print("Enter the title: ");                  String title = scanner.nextLine();                  System.out.print("Enter the donor: ");                  String donor = scanner.nextLine();                  System.out.print("Enter the number of chapters: ");                  int chaps = scanner.nextInt();                  System.out.print("Enter the book location: ");                  bookLocation = scanner.nextLine();                                      scanner.nextLine();                  books[i] =new Books(title, donor, chaps, bookLocation);              }                            boolean flag=false;                                      System.out.print("\nFor search enter donor's name: ");            String donor = scanner.nextLine();              for(int i=0; i<books.length;i++){                 Books b=books[i];                             if (b.getDonatedBy().equalsIgnoreCase(donor)){ //if the user input matches the donor name, do the following                    System.out.print("\nBook "+(i+1)+": \n");                    b.printDetails(); //you're printing if the user input matches the donor                    flag=true;                 }             }                 if (flag){                  System.out.println("\nTask Complete. ");              }              scanner.close();          }  }
