Reviews At My Library

"Reviews At My Library" adds reviews of books, movies, and music to your library's catalog. You can check out other peoples' reviews, and add your own.

Where are the reviews coming from?

Reviews come from three places. Some come from you and other people from your library—library staff often write reviews too! Other reviews come from people and library staff at other libraries around the world. The rest come from members of LibraryThing.com, a website for book lovers.

If I write a review, where will it go?

Reviews you write can show up in your library's catalog, at other libraries around the world and on LibraryThing.com. You'll always be able to see all your reviews when you log in. Your review will never appear on a site that sells books. Your library's name will always accompany your review.

Do I still "own" my review? Can I post it elsewhere?

You do NOT lose copyright to your review, nor are you restricted where else you may submit or publish it. You may publish your review anywhere you like, and even sell it.

Can I put reviews on my blog?

Put your reviews on your blog

Yes you can! You can let your friends know what you're reading, and what you think of it.

Are reviews moderated?

To guard against spam, many libraries choose to approve reviews before they are publicly available. If your review is not approved from appearing in your library's catalog, you'll still be able to see it if you log in. Read more about what's appropriate for a review in the Terms of Use.

Your reviews will appear on your Facebook page or blog widget whether or not they have been approved.

Reviews from other libraries are moderated by those libraries. LibraryThing.com reviews are moderated by LibraryThing staff.
