We’ve just added a feature allowing you to add and edit ISSNs in your catalog records!

ISSNs (International Standard Serial Number) are used for serial publications such as magazines and journals. While many of our members catalog such items, until now there was no field for the #ISSN. #💙📚 #Booksky

Meet Cinnamon—a real library cat! Margaretta snapped this pic while setting up the The Chapel of the Cross TinyCat library.

Margaretta says Cinnamon has the largest whisker-span she's ever seen on a cat. I believe it!

We released pricing and condition fields for your catalog. For the first time, you can track, report, and manage the value of your library or of specific collections.

You can find these fields in LibraryThing, under the Collector section when you add or edit an item.

Books are expensive! We just increased the maximum acquisitions budget for “Volunteer” TinyCat libraries from $500 to $1,000 USD.

TinyCat prices are competitive, but our Volunteer rates are hard to beat. See if you qualify as a Volunteer library: www.librarycat.org#pricing

Robert A. Wilson shared this beautiful story about their TinyCat library with us:

“[The museum library’s] mission is to share our history of one of the, if not the most famous bladesmith, knifemaker, and skilled artisan of the modern era. William F. Moran, Jr. (1925-2006)...
