In the future, Library Thing will add some "group" features so members can have separate accounts but one joined library. • Non-profit and not-for-profit organizations (small libraries, churches, clubs, schools, classrooms). Free up to 200 books. $15/year for up to 5,000 books.

  11. PRIVACY and SHARING • What information do I need to give up? • None. Setting up an account only requires a username and a password. Do not even need an email address. • What if I don't want everyone to see what I have in my collection? • You can always choose to make your collection private under the "Edit your profile" on your profile page.
