librarything

While don't think I personally would use librarything anytime soon, I have recommended it to several patrons who are avid readers. All were excited about such a site (and similar sites such as goodreads) as they enjoyed recommending books to friends and keeping track of what they had, were, and planned to read. In addition, these sites offered them another another tool to come across recommended reading. In a much more approachable, interesting, and humanistic way than some of our databases allow.
