I have been busy lately uploading books I have in my house on the free site (up to 1000 items) Librarything. Below is a link for one of the books I added recently. If this does not work, you can go to Librarything.com and register, its not a complicated process, then look for Toastysmom's library,. This is a work in progress so books are being added daily. I am arranging them right now by what shelf they are in in what room, and later on may do more of a Dewey arrangement. As a librarian and a cataloger, I love the use of technology. For most titles all you have to do is put in the ISBN number usually found on the back of the book if it has a dustjacket or is a paperback. If not, the ISBN, earlier called the SBN is on the verso of the title page in the front of the book. If the book predates, or does not have an ISBN, you can try the title or author as entry points, but then you may have to search by copyright date, or something else. Try it on your new books. When you get the hang of it, start adding more complicated titles. The photo is of a cover of a pamphlet, which may be one of my own personal original library. It was not in any data base, but I love the book, so I added it manually, including uploading the cover, which is pretty and looks like Michigan in the spring. I scanned the cover, then saved the scan as a jpg, and uploaded it. Voile.

On Friday I will be able to attend a rally where both McCain and his grass roots running mate will be presenting. I am going. It is outside. Hopefully it won't be rained out, as security does not allow us to bring umbrellas. Plastic is probably OK. Photo is of Laura, Paul and Mary K. at rally. We arrived quite early and got really good seats. They told us to wear red. It was an exciting day.
On Thursday I am going with friends to see the movie Mama Mia at the new Partridge Creek Shopping Mall. My first time to the mall. I will go early so I can look at the Birkenstock shoe store and the Apple Store both of which are close to the theatre.
Well, the thunderstorm is coming and I must close down. I also have to go to Curves, or to church or both. So it's Adios for now. Hope someone reads this besides me. Love to all.
