Shelfari - a Virtual Book Shelf

Shelfari helps you discover new books. Shelfari lets you see what other members are reading now and what books are the most popular. You can even discover the top sellers in your favorite genre! You can connect with friends to see which books you have in common, what they are reading or what they think of the books they have read. You can ask your Shelfari friends for book recommendations or create a group where you can talk about your books. Shelfari lets you build a virtual book shelf to display the books you have read, want to read, or are reading now. Then you can be the critic in rating and reviewing your books so your friends can see what you think. This is an excellent “free” tool to help you discover and pick your next book to read. Once book is selected you can go you your local public library and take out the book or inter-loan from another public library.
