How to find books!

So, you want to look at our Book Club collection to make a decision as to what your book club will read next. You have come to the right place!

In the right-hand column on the screen, you should see something that says "Follow LibraryThing to our Bookshelf," and there should be a small icon with the words "Library Thing" on it. Have you found it yet? Good. Click on the "Library Thing" icon, and it should take you to our virtual bookshelf.

This bookshelf is where you will find all 136 books in our book club collection.

If you want to search only within a certain age group, choose "Tags" from the row of three buttons at the top, left-hand side of the screen--"List, Covers, Tags." "Tags" will give you three options--Adult, Teen, and Juvenile. These "tags" sort the books into their respective age groups for you.

If you want to look at what publishers are saying about their books in our collection, follow the publisher's link posted in the "Comments" section of each book.

If you simply want to read what other members of LibraryThing are saying about the books in our collection, click on the title of the book.

If you want to look at book covers only, then do this:
at the top of the screen, you should see a row of three buttons--"List, Covers, Tags." Select "Covers," and LibraryThing will show you only the covers of the books in our collection.

Soon, very soon, we will posting links to discussion questions. Keep checking back with us as we work to make this site your one-stop book club shop!
