Ahhh...summer is approaching and I can just hear the flip, flip, flip of pages now. I LOVE reading over the summer. Even now as I'm typing, I'm thinking of all the things I can't wait to read and Library Thing will definitely add to that list!
Some key points:
- Under the Zeitgeist tab, I found that many of the most tagged authors were ones I'd never heard of--great way to find out about new authors.
- An instant resource for students to find books based on what they like. I have several students in mind who can never find anything in our school library, and well...I haven't read every book ever written. Lame I know, but I haven't. Library Thing would be a great resource for those kids to use to find books that are right up their alley.
- Ever been teaching a book from the book room, or part of the set curriculum and wish you had another companion novel that was set in the same time period or same theme, but different genre or POV? Or maybe was on a lower or higher reading level? You can use tags to help you find that book!
- Kids can sign up, join groups, and further their life-long reading practice.
