#11 Library Thing

I played around with LibraryThing and added a few titles to my library. It's very cool to be able to keep track of books you've read and see their covers, have "conversations" about them, read review, etc. There are a zillion ways this could be used by book lovers in general and public libraries more specifically.
Our library is hosting a "Let's Talk About It" Jewish Literature series. Many of the people who attending the first session, don't use this library and in fact have never been here (the sessions are held across the courtyard from the library).
I have a lovely display of books which falls into the Jewish Literature category that these people will never see. If I had them listed on LibraryThing, they could see them and discuss them.
