Librarything: #11

One of the first things I did when I accepted my children's librarian position was create a Librarything account. I knew it would come in handy as a reader's advisory tool-- and I was right! I use Librarything almost every day on the reference desk. I read 2-3 children's or teen books a week, and keep track of them with Librarything. I tag books with the genre and target audience age range, as well as other useful descriptors such as contemporary, series, illustrated, etc. So, for example, if a 10 year old girl comes up and asks me for a funny fantasy book, I'm prepared with my database of personal recommendations!

My Librarything account is here.
