What a wonderful idea! I'm really glad you started this group knowing that you are never slack in you job!
As for me, I'm not a librarian. I so far did not face the problem of not finding the books I read. I do want to thank all the Sri Lankan librarians who add those books difficult to find.

If a librarian can add books by Tharaka Wasalamudali and create her profile page, I'll be very grateful!

I am a Goodreads librarian and I've lost count of how many books I've manually added! Lol! Once I added this beautiful book about Buddha and Buddhism. 
Added http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18....I am currently reading it. It was bought ages ago and somehow lying around a shelf without being read.
Added these a while back. Forgot to post these on this thread. පතික් සහ කල්කටාවේ මැජික්කාරයා - A short story by Satyajit Ray
දිග ගමනක කෙටි සටහන් - An autobiography by N.T Karunatilake. Quite an enjoyable read.
Also, I wanted to ask my fellow librarians' opinion on this. I usually add the author's name in Sinhala if the book is in Sinhalese and author writes (mostly) in Sinhala.I wonder whether this is a good idea as it makes it hard for people to find author/book through search. On the other hand, it doesn't make sense to create a book/author entry in English if the book is in Sinhalese. Any thoughts?

I have always wondered about this even though I am not a librarian yet, hopefully soon. :) I think it's better to look for the convention followed for other foreign books and authors.
I am pretty sure you guys have read this. A childhood favourite. I found a pdf version of it and started reading it again.ලස්සන වසිලීස්සා රුසියන් සුරංගනා කතා

Thanks for adding more Sinhala books! I've read these but had completely forgotten until I saw them here.
Btw, can you tell me the font type you use in Sinhala? Sometimes I have trouble adding sinhala books because I'm not sure which type to use.
Not sure if I understood your question correctly, but for Sinhala typing I use the following web based transliteration tool.http://www.ucsc.cmb.ac.lk/ltrl/servic...
added some books by Chandana Mandis, P. B Senanayake etc. You can find them here. I'm adding more from more Sinhala authors.https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Thank you all for informing about all these books.
I'm adding more and more. So I think it's best if you people check my Sinhala shelf which I update with every Sinhala book I add. I think if other librarians here too do a similar thing it will be very easy for all. Here is my Sinhala shelf.https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
