#14 Library Thing

I went into the Library Thing Local - it gave me the map of our location, no events were scheduled here, but there were bookstores in Mankato. I did read the thing about adding books to a catalog and you merely need to have words from the title, the author or an ISBN. Library Thing gets all the info from amazon.com and from over 250 libraries around the world, including the Library of Congress. I loved the word used, "folksonomies"someone used for a tag.
Our library has a newsletter to alert readers about new books at the library. I use amazon.com and barnes & nobles often at the library to figure out authors, prices & etc. about books.
