LibraryThing.....

I found LibraryThing was easy to sign up to all you needed was a user name and a password, from there I added books I enjoyed reading to my online catalog. LibraryThing connected you to people who had similar reading tastes as yourself and the book page shows you who has the book and what they think about it. You could see reviews written by other people who had read the same books and you can even join up with group forums to discuss a particular book that you have read. I think maybe the Manukau Libraries might think of doing something similar so our patrons can connect to each other through forums and have their own online catalog that they can share with others.
