Pimp My Bookcart

Every year the creative minds at Unshelved present "Pimp My Bookcart." Now, librarians know what a bookcart is. It is simply the cart we use to reshelve materials.
Pimp My Bookcart shows the artistic side of a profession largely believed to stick to the uniform order of Dewey. Check out some of these carts and let us know if they don't make you smile.
Perhaps next year, our very own Beatties Ford Road will throw in our hat to compete against these fine bookcart designers.

New Favorite! LibraryThing

LibraryThing can help you organize your list of books! For those of us who choose to use the public library on a regular basis, we can have a difficult time remembering which books we already read. This can be especially helpful when requesting titles without seeing the cover.

All you have to do is create a username and account and start loading in titles that you have read. My favorite part is that I can note which books in a series I still need to read. It is all right there added in by people in LibraryThing.
Check it out!
