I just discovered #libib -I‘m using this app to catalog my books so I don‘t buy a repeat 😜 Currently all of my books are in storage, the ones I cataloged are the books I have purchased since our move in May. What apps do you all use to keep track of your books?

JoRead Goodreads. Some people don't like it but I love it 6y

GingerAntics Oh wow. I need to look into this app. This is genius. 6y

Reagan I love goodreads and Libib. I have Library Thing but I actually find it clunky to use compared to Libib especially. 6y

RavenLovelyReads @JoRead I use Goodreads too- I never thought about using it to catalog books I own 🤓 kinda feel foolish now! 😂 6y

RavenLovelyReads @GingerAntics I‘m having a lot of fun with it! You can add as many “libraries” as you like and break those down into groups. The free account has a capacity of 5,000 books! Anything over that you need to upgrade to a paying membership. 6y

RavenLovelyReads @Reagan-reads Thanks for the info! I wanted to try Library Things- I actually downloaded it, but I was having so much fun with Libib that I forgot to try it out 🤷🏻‍♀️ 6y

Ubookquitous I used bookpedia on my Mac to inventory all my books - keep track of those read, loaned, borrowed, sold/donated. There is an app that syncs with it called Pocketpedia that I have on iPhone and iPad so I have my collection with me- I can do a quick search and know if I have it 6y

Karkar I use Libib for the books I own and Goodreads to track the ones I read. 6y

GingerAntics @RavenLovelyReads good lord, that is a lot of books. lol 6y

RavenLovelyReads @GingerAntics I saw a meme today that I can totally use! It said “I‘m on the road to recovery. Just kidding! I‘m on the road to the bookstore! 😂 6y

GingerAntics @RavenLovelyReads ROTFL so true 6y

Reagan They have good giveaways, and nothing is perfect but I much prefer Libib to keep track, and then goodreads for more in depth cataloging. 6y

1) Librarian
2) Snack Bar at a bowling alley
3) I worked at a factory one summer where we wouldn't get the parts we needed until close to end of shift, and then we'd have to stay overtime to get the work done.
4) Something where I would get to handle books but not have to deal with people/customers very often.

#TrivialThursday
1. Well, as a Technical Services Librarian that works in our admin building, I have access to the new books immediately and can have other books sent to me at our building. So I don't get to the actual library often, but I'm in a library-like building every day.
2. All the libraries
3. I currently have 10 holds
4. 7 or 8

GarthRanzz Thanks for playing Tonya! 😊 7y

Finally got myself down to 10 books on my library card. It hasn't been this low in months. Downside to working in a library, you start to hoard books more than usual.
