Thing #14: Library Thing

I actually have worked with Library Thing before. I actually created an account months ago (pre-23 things) to access a co-worker's Library Thing storytime books page. This is a tool that can be VERY useful to librarians, as we are constantly creating and looking for booklists to help our patrons.

One of the features I love about Library Thing is that you can actually have a picture of the book cover on the screen- very helpful when you are trying to remember a storytime title (I often remember the cover and/or illustrations more than I remember the actual titles!) And a helpful tool for getting storytime theme ideas and/or remebering titles you've read before.
