As library people we all collect books in one way or another. LibraryThing is designed to help you keep track of your books. They may be your favourite books, or all the books you own or things that have been suggested by other people as things you must read. I use mine to keep track of things I know I want to read sometime, but haven't got time to look at right now which is always a long list!
So why not join the ranks and create your own library online. With
- Over 214,000 users signed up
- Over 14 million books cataloged
- Over 18 million tags applied by users to their books
Discovery Resources:
