Thing 13 Library Thing

This Thing could be very useful for smaller private or special libraries an large personal libraries. In a standard public library. you could set up reading lists of similar authors or subjects either for local school assignments or for patron reader's advisory using tags. Now it is done orally, through coppied lists or one of our databases. Library Thing offers an alternative for computer literate patrons. However for paatrons with poor computer skills or no readily available computer, the old ways still work. Our Library already has a page for local events, but it is seldom updated due to the lack of time from budget cuts and added responsibilities to all staff. My personal library is small due to my life long reliance on public libraries, so I have little need to organize it.
