Library, meet LibraryThing.

The Frankfort Public Library has partnered with LibraryThing.com to bring interactive content—reviews, read-alikes, tagging, etc.—to the library catalog. Take a look at the listing for Stephenie Meyer's New Moon for a sample. Is this something you'd like to see at Forest Park? Let us know what you think in the comments, or email us at AskUs@fppl.org.

Frankfort shares our basic SWAN catalog, so the search page should look pretty familiar—but LibraryThing also has a bunch of other libraries using their service. If you see anything you like somewhere else, let us know that too. We'll see what we can do about making it happen here.
