Librarything is every book lovers dream website. An ideal spot to store all the information you like about your books, what you have in your personal library and to find out what other book lovers have and are enjoying reading. It is a giant, online book club! Never again should members of librarything be stuck for ideas about books to read next or the opportunity to share their ideas and thoughts with others. Facebook for book nuts.
It is also a useful way of cataloguing and keeping excellent records of your own library - for those of us with overloaded brains, it is a way of actually being able to remember what you have read! In other words, a great way to list and organise your books.
For librarians and libraries librarything is a very useful tool for promoting, discussing and recommending particular parts of the library collection and enabling patrons to give feedback and ask for suggestions of what to read next. As libraries already have extensive cataloguing systems, it would not be necessary to use librarything for this purpose, but definately provides opportunites to socially engage with your local library and other book lovers in your area.
