Just in case you need the directions to add a book:
I want to add a book and post a review to the group. 1. Once you decide how you want to log-in, you will go to the group page. Don’t see it? Go to the Profile Icon on the top right (the little circle picture) and click on Groups. Then, click on Berks Libraries. 2. You’ll see the navigation choices on your right, and click “Bookshelf.” 3. On the left you’ll see the option to “Add Books.” 4. Search for the title you want to share and review and click “Add to group.” 5. A new window will open for you. From there you can: Add shelves. Click on the appropriate shelf categories. Add a New Shelf by typing the name of the category in the box at the bottom and clicking save. Check all the boxes that your book fits into. Click close when you’re done. Write a review. The reviews are just for us so don’t stress too much about writing them. Short and sweet works. Mention how you used the book at a program or how you plan to. Also mentioning surprising elements like, “It’s a picture book but worked really well with older kids because XYZ,” etc. Leave a rating (maybe). It’s going to sound strange, but leaving a rating opens a whole other window. Feel free to play around with it, but it can make things confusing. Ratings can be added later after you ensure that the book was added to the group. If you are using your own account and adding a book that you previously reviewed/rated, the review and rating will get added to the Group automatically when you add the book. You’ll just need to add your shelves during the process.
