Libraries</a>®, <a href="http://www.bookcrossing.com">BookCrossing Zones</a>™, the Dutch project <a href="http://minibieb.nl/">“Minibieb”</a> and others to <a href="http://www.librarything.com/local">LibraryThing Local</a>, LibraryThing’s index and map of over <a href="http://www.librarything.com/local/helpers">87,000 bookstores, libraries and other bookish places</a>. Members have already added 749 of them. A slew of new features supports the project. </p> <p>Check it out:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.librarything.com/local/little">Little Libraries near you</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.librarything.com/local/littleplace/Washington%2C+DC">Little Libraries around Washington, DC</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.librarything.com/local/map/little/Washington%2C+DC&zoom=10">Zoomed-out map of the same</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.librarything.com/local_directory.php?subtype=1">Little Free Libraries entered so far, by country and state</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.librarything.com/local_directory.php?subtype=2">BookCrossing Zones entered so far, by country and state</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.librarything.com/topic/161222">Join the effort!</a></ul> <div style="float: right; width: 310px; margin: 0 0 10px 10px;"><a href="https://blog.librarything.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/squeaky_300.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" src="https://blog.librarything.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/squeaky_300.jpg" alt="" title="squeaky_300" width="300" height="337" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5561" /></a></p> <div style="padding: 5px; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; font-family: arial, verdana;"><center><a href="/profile/SqueakyChu"> SqueakyChu</a>‘s library, <a href="/venue/84141/Little-Free-Library-of-Twinbrook">The Little Free Library of Twinbrook</a>, in Rockville, MD</center></div> </div> <p><b>Long Version:</b> </p> <p>A long-time member, <a href="http://www.librarything.com/profile/SqueakyChu">SqueakyChu</a>, recently requested that we add Little Free Libraries (LFLs) to LibraryThing Local. Apparently the LFL people have been unable to keep up with all the new libraries, and have fallen months behind. Their <a href="http://littlefreelibrary.org/ourmap/">own map</a> is also limited compared to LibraryThing’s robust feature set. And having LFLs in LibraryThing Local would allow LibraryThing members to discover them, as well as users of our <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/readar/id431326874?mt=8">Readar iPhone app</a>. </p> <p>If you don’t know, <a href="http://littlefreelibrary.org">Little Free Libraries</a> is a grassroots movement sweeping the country and the world. “Stewards” build or buy them, set them up somewhere, often in their front yards, and fill them with books. Visitors take and leave books as they wish. <a href="http://www.bookcrossing.com">BookCrossing</a>, around since 2001(!), is a similar concept, encouraging and tracking the free exchange of books from reader to reader. Books can be released “into the wild” anywhere, but “BookCrossing Zones” (BCZs) are special spaces set up to facilitate this exchange. </p> <p>We’ve discussed similar efforts before, and approached both organizations for a feed, without success.

But, as I’ve <a href="http://www.librarything.com/blogs/thingology/2010/04/reading-alone-how-ebooks-will-kill-the-smallest-libraries/">written before</a>, cities and towns throughout the world are filled with such collections, from coffee shops to churches, from community centers to advocacy groups.

Keith, who’s been a public school teacher in Toronto for the past fifteen years and has family connections in Ghana, began collecting books last summer for the Bright Future School in Keta, Ghana, a K-9 school with 600 students and thirty faculty members. </p> <p>The first batch of 200 math textbooks and 500 children’s books were sent in August 2012, and arrived in October. Another 3,100 books Keith collected from schools around Toronto (and stored in his house!) were shipped this February after the successful IndieGoGo campaign, and arrived just a couple weeks ago. They will be delivered to the school later this month. You can browse the catalog of these books at <a href="http://www.librarything.com/profile/booksmatter">http://www.librarything.com/profile/booksmatter</a>. As the project expands and books arrive at additional libraries, we’ll be separating these out into separate LT catalogs for each library, so that they can be optimized to fit the specific needs of each school (and so that they can be updated as needed, of course).</p> <p><a style="margin: 0px 0px 5px 5px; float: right; clear: right;" href="http://www.booksmatter.org"><img decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2462" title="collage" src="http://booksmatter.org/sites/default/files/log4.png"/></a> Keith has now launched a new website for the Books Matter project at <a href="http://www.booksmatter.org">http://www.booksmatter.org</a>, and is in the process of registering as an official charity. He’s currently rounding up the next batch of books to ship over to Ghana, and identifying the schools there that will benefit most from books we send.</p> <h1>Phase One: How to help <u>now</u></h1> <p>Right now the major need is funding for shipping already-donated books to Ghana: payment for a shipping container, sea transport to Accra, Ghana, and then transportation from Accra to the schools in the Volta region). It costs approximately $1 per book to pay for shipping (as Keith says, “$10 sends 10 books, $50 sends 50 books: the math is simple, but the effect is profound”).</p> <p>We’re going to be giving more of the money members raised by adding events to LT Local for this, and we invite you, should you feel so inclined, to head over to <a href="http://www.booksmatter.org">Books Matter</a> and donate directly to the cause as well. If you donate, make sure to mention you’re a LibraryThing member!</p> <h1>Phase Two: Collection Development</h1> <p>This is about more than money. Books Matter is cataloging everything they send to Ghana.</p> <p>Having everything cataloged allows us to do more than send random books. We can get involved in collection development—sending the <i>right books</i> to the <i>right schools</i> to fill gaps or to focus on areas of interest. We can do this site-wide or in groups. So, for example, wouldn’t it be cool if the “Green Dragon” and “Science!” groups could collaborate to make sure they’ve got a good collection in their area? And teachers and children at the schools can also participate, telling us what they need and how we can help!</p> <p>That’s our idea. We’ll support it with some money and with features. But members will have to drive it. Let’s see what we can all do for readers in another country.</p> <p>Come talk about phase two here: <a href="http://www.librarything.com/topic/153515">http://www.librarything.com/topic/153515</a></p> <h1>Why we’re doing this.</h1> <p>We’ve wanted to do something like this for a long time. We feel it’s important to give back when we can, and we want to give our members an easy way to contribute to a worthy project that puts books in the hands of readers who need them. By working with Keith and Books Matter, we’re in on the ground floor of a new, exciting project with lots of growth potential, and will be able to work with him to make sure that our contributions get where they need to go. </p> <p>We’re really delighted about this, and we hope you all will be too!</p> </div> <div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div> <p class="blogger-labels">Labels: <a href="https://blog.librarything.com/category/events/" rel="category tag">events</a>, <a href="https://blog.librarything.com/category/fun/" rel="category tag">fun</a>, <a href="https://blog.librarything.com/category/gifts/" rel="category tag">gifts</a>, <a href="https://blog.librarything.com/category/librarything-local/" rel="category tag">librarything local</a></p> <div class="post-footer"> <em>posted by Jeremy @<a href="https://blog.librarything.com/2013/04/books-for-ghana-librarything-teams-up-with-books-matter/" title="Permanent Link to Books for Ghana: LibraryThing teams up with Books Matter!">2:22 pm</a></em> <a href="https://blog.librarything.com/2013/04/books-for-ghana-librarything-teams-up-with-books-matter/#comments">3 Comments »</a> </div> <div class="shareit"> <li> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/home?status=Books+for+Ghana%3A+LibraryThing+teams+up+with+Books+Matter%21+-+http://www.librarything.comhttps://blog.librarything.com/2013/04/books-for-ghana-librarything-teams-up-with-books-matter/" target="_blank" ><img src="http://twitter-badges.s3.amazonaws.com/t_mini-a.png" alt="Tweet about Books for Ghana: LibraryThing teams up with Books Matter!" /></a> </li> <li class="facebook-share"> <a name="fb_share" type="icon" share_url="http://www.librarything.comhttps://blog.librarything.com/2013/04/books-for-ghana-librarything-teams-up-with-books-matter/" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Share</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script> </li> </div> </div> <div class="post-4260 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-bookstores category-librarything-local category-new-feature category-new-features"> <h2 class="date-header">Sunday, April 7th, 2013</h2> <h3 class="post-title"><a href="https://blog.librarything.com/2013/04/mark-the-bookstores-and-libraries-youve-visited/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Mark the bookstores and libraries you’ve visited">Mark the bookstores and libraries you’ve visited</a></h3> <div class="post-body"> <p><b>UPDATE:</b> See below for some new privacy controls we’ve added.</p> <p>LibraryThing has long had a way to mark your favorite bookstores and libraries from <a href="http://www.librarything.com/local">LibraryThing Local</a>, LibraryThing’s database of more than 80,000 bookish venues and 60,000 upcoming events.</p> <p>Today we’ve added a way to mark places you’ve visited—in general or, by a simple “check in” button, the day you visit somewhere.

The html pages for places like that were also gigantic. (And I mean gigantic. They crashed browsers!) New Local is much faster, with page-load times of a few seconds at most, and pages under 100k.</p> <p><b>Better, bigger maps.</b> You can now zoom, click and drag the maps and new venues will come in dynamically.

Each map also has a <a href="http://www.librarything.com/local/map/New+York,+NY">full page</a> mode (see <a href="http://www.librarything.com/local/map/New+York,+NY">New York, NY</a>) that fills the page. </p> <p><b>More venues!

We also wrote special scrapers for most of the major publishers, and B&N and IndieBound stores, which more-than-doubled what users entered. </p> <p>We’re up to 80,500 venues, including 28,000 bookstores and 45,000 libraries, and 118,000 bookish events, including nearly 10,000 upcoming. </p> <p>All-in-all, we’re confident that no other source has as much information on bookish events as LibraryThing Local. </p> <p><b>Books for Ghana.</b> We’re also extremely pleased that by adding events to LT Local, members <a href="http://www.librarything.com/blogs/librarything/2012/11/add-events-to-librarything-local-and-give-books-to-needy-readers/">raised</a> more than $1,700 for needy readers. So far we’ve contributed $600 of that to Keith Goddard’s <a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/books4ghana">Books4Ghana</a> campaign on Indiegogo, putting that effort over the top. This will fund the shipping of several thousand books to the Bright Future School in Keta, Ghana this spring. We hope to work with Keith more going forward.</p> <p><b>New version of Readar.</b> We’ve updated <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/readar/id431326874?mt=8">Readar</a> (formerly <a href="http://www.librarything.com/blogs/librarything/2010/01/local-books-iphone-application/">Local Books</a>) to make it compatible with the 5S.</p> <p>If you haven’t used it yet, Readar is a simple app for bookstores, libraries and bookish events near you. I use it all the time at home—every time I want to call a bookstore, they’re all right there. And I use it whenever I go on a trip, so I know where to spend my free time.</p> <p><b>Local Members.</b> The <a href="http://www.librarything.com/local/members">Local members</a> page, which shows members near you who’ve chosen to make their location public, has been thoroughly revamped and updated, with a pleasant checkerboard view. It’s on “infinite scroll,” so that it loads ahead of you, like Pinterest. The members are sorted semi-randomly, with members who are more active on LibraryThing or share something with you nearer the top. </p> <p>To add a public location, or remove yours, <a href="http://www.librarything.com/editprofile/local">edit your profile</a>. As of now, only about 27% of members have public locations. You also have a “private location,” so you can find out what’s going on in your town without telling anyone where that is!</p> <p><b>Profile page changes.</b> Just some slight tweaking on your profile page: we’ve moved the “About me” and “About my library” sections up a bit, so they now appear before your lists of groups and favorite authors and venues. We’ve added a “Favorite venues” link directly to your <a href="http://www.librarything.com/local/favorites/MEMBERNAME">LT Local Favorites</a> page.</p> <p><b>Event filtering.</b> Back in November we added a way for members to <a href="http://www.librarything.com/topic/144832">filter out events</a> they didn’t have any interest in seeing. We’ve expanded that to filter out some less “pertinent” events—mostly all the Nook demos at B&N stores—at a global level, so they won’t show unless you want them to. You can toggle to seeing absolutely everything by choosing “all” instead of “most” above event lists.</p> <p><b>Helper stats.</b> We’re rearranged the <a href="http://www.librarything.com/profile/MEMBERNAME/stats/library">Stats/Memes</a> page a bit, adding a Helper section where you can see all your Helper badges, your Common Knowledge contributions, and your additions to LibraryThing Local. The new Local page shows all the venues and events you’ve added so far. (See <a href="http://www.librarything.com/profile/MEMBERNAME/stats/local">yours</a> or <a href="http://www.librarything.com/profile/MDGentleReader/stats/local">MDGentleReader</a>‘s.)</p> <p><b>Better Venue Linking.</b> Linking up the brief location info on publishers sites (eg., “Tattered Cover, Denver”) to their real-life LibraryThing venues (e.g., <a href="http://www.librarything.com/venue/1947/Tattered-Cover-Book-Store-Historic-LoDo">this</a>) has become a crucial step in getting so many events in LT Local. We’ve improved the <a href="http://www.librarything.com/help_general.php">Help Connect Bookstores and Libraries to LibraryThing</a> page to help helpers out more—providing a list of best matches. It speeds things up enormously. (Many thanks to <a href="/profile/MDGentleReader">MDGentleReader</a>, <a href="/profile/rosalita">rosalita</a>, <a href="/profile/eromsted">eromsted</a>, <a href="/profile/lilithcat">lilithcat</a>, <a href="/profile/SqueakyChu">SqueakyChu</a> and many others for doing so many the old way.)</p> <p><b>Talk about it.</b> Come talk about the changes <a href="http://www.librarything.com/topic/149516">here</a>!

Events can be in any country.</p> <p>What happens after <strike>January 1</strike> April 4? We don’t know. If it’s a success, we’ll probably keep doing this.</p> <p><b>Where Will The Money Go?</b> We need to find a good place for the money to go, and ask for help finding one—or creating our own project from the ground up. Some projects that inspired us include:</p> <ol> <li><a href="http://buyindiaalibrary.wordpress.com/">Buy India a Library</a>, which, builds and staffs a library in a poor part of India (see my friend <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df8aR9x-eO0 ">Andromeda Yelton’s YouTube video</a> about it, another friend, <a href="http://justinthelibrarian.com/">Justin Hoenke</a> is also involved).</li> <li><a href="http://www.onelibraryatatime.com/blog/">One Library at a Time</a>, responsible for creating two libraries in Panama and starting another in Ghana.</li> <li><a href="http://www.librarieswithoutborders.org">Libraries Without Borders</a></li> </ol> <p>There must be many more. I’m also interested in South Sudan, where LibraryThing member <a href="johnthefireman">johnthefireman</a> works.</p> <p>Come discuss where we should spend the money <a href="http://www.librarything.com/topic/144882">on Talk here</a>.</p> <p><b>Why we’re doing this.</b> LibraryThing Local has been a success, but mostly as a way for members to mark and broadcast their favorite bookstores and libraries. </p> <p>LibraryThing Local Events originally included some automatically-added events, especially a full event feed from Booksense/IndieBound, but IndieBound eventually decided to stop providing event feeds to sites like LibraryThing after booksellers complained that their events were being, yes, listed on the web. (Really.) Meanwhile, automatic feeds from some other sources foundered on the lack of a good way for members to filter out low-interest events, such as daily storytimes.</p> <p>All-in-all, events have suffered. The fewer events showed up, the less attractive the events system seemed. LibraryThing members continue to curate and improve the system constantly (with over <a href="http://www.librarything.com/commonknowledge/">4.6 million edits to Common Knowledge</a>, <a href="http://www.librarything.com/zeitgeist/combiners">3.4 million work combinations and separations</a>, etc.), but events have lagged behind. </p> <p>Meanwhile, LibraryThing has become a profitable company (clap, clap, clap). We’re not <i>wildly profitable</i>, and are spending most of our money on hiring new people, but I feel it’s important to give something back the moment we can do so. Staff and members have long wanted to help build a library in a poor country, or for a disadvantaged population. As someone said, “what you can do, you should do.” We can do this. </p> <p>But if we’re going to do it, why not get members involved–improving the site for all and “buying into” the charitable project?</p> <p><b>The Fine Print.</b> Events added to LibraryThing Local, whether manually or using the <a href="http://www.librarything.com/wiki/index.php/Add_Events_API">Add Events API</a> must be connected to a unique LibraryThing account and conform to the the <a href="http://www.librarything.com/privacy">LibraryThing Terms of Service</a>. The addition of spurious, spam or any other non-events is not permitted, will not count and may result in the suspension of your LibraryThing account. If event quality suffers, we may have to adjust what qualifies. What events qualify is up to our sole and final discretion.</p> <p>LibraryThing shall determine how the money will be spent, when and where. We are setting an initial, optional limit of $1,000 per member and $5,000 overall, just in case someone figures out how to add 500,000 events we didn’t know existed.</p> <p>We reserve the right to modify the fine print at any time, and to cancel the program as well. </p> <p>We are giving ourselves legal leeway here. We want no basis for getting sued. But if we scrooge this up, you are encouraged to excoriate us for it everywhere you can.</p> <p>Come discuss the feature in general <a href="https://www.librarything.com/topic/144884">here</a>.</p>
