My real Candy Store - Library Thing





















The Alexandria Library, the greatest library of the Ancient World









#11
If making a "Hairspray" character felt good, the "Library Thing" is "the thing" - my real Candy Store.
There is a plethora of bookgroups on the Mornington Peninsula and often they ask for a good booklist, book reviews, notes on authors. Our booklists are developed and maintained in the old fashioned way. The Library Thing will be most useful to me - it is so much easier to maintain the booklist online and link it to the library website or the bookgroups' blogs. The catalogue is very helpful - it will give a glimpse into book contents. Not to mention recommending the site to bookgroups so they can create their own bookshelves!
The Library Thing, with all its features, is a treasure trove for any bookgroup and most certainly, any librarian interested in all things reading related.

The Internet today, with growing number of books available in electronic format, is becoming more and more the modern, virtual "Alexandria Library".



The Story of San Michele by Axel Munthe
one of my favorite books from the past
