I've been having a great time filling my bookshelf on shelfari.com, but I've got a long way to go if my virtual bookshelf is going to match my actual one.
In the process, though, I found a great web site for someone who does not necessarily want to buy a book, but would like to borrow it from a lending library for just one reading. It lets you locate a book in a library near you. You type in the name of the book and your zip code, and it gives you the names of nearby libraries that hold a copy. The libraries must first have registered with the site, of course. I tried it, and it seems to work pretty well. The site address is: http://www.worldcatlibraries.org/. I will add it to my side bar as well.
Happy hunting.
