No More Double Booking: Have Your Book Collection On-Hand With This Nifty App

(SPOT.ph) Ah, it's that time of the year again, book fair season. With the Manila International Book Fair this weekend, online book fests, book sales, and other book worm extravaganza, it's that time when we succumb to tsundoku a.k.a. book hoarding, and fill our shelves to our heart's (erm, pocket's?) content. Unfortunately, and we've been guilty of this ourselves, with a growing pile of books comes the inevitable likelihood of forgetting which titles you own and which you don't. Well, bookworms save your coin and read up 'cause we've found a nifty solution to our collective double-copy problem. Introducing the Bookshelf Your Virtual Library App.

Here's what this bookshelf app can do for you and your library:

This free app on iOS and Android helps you organize your book collection on different customizable shelves such as reading, to be read, etc, track your reading progress, make a wishlist of things you want to read, and share book recommendations. 

Gone are the days when you have to manually list down all your book titles. To catalog all your books, you simply have to scan the ISBN barcode found at the backs of your books and it automatically gets uploaded to the shelf you specified. You can even do a batch scan wherein you can upload multiple books to a shelf at once. There's no need to add details about each title one by one, all the book's information can be uploaded with just a single scan. 

The app also prompts you to warn you of duplication in case you scan a reading material that's already on your shelves. This life-changing feature is one of our favorites, as it's bound to save us some cash down the line. 

To further aid you in your book hoarding, er, book shopping, the app also has an extensive search catalog of reading materials that you can browse so that you can build your book shopping list ahead of your trip. Imagine all the information about your current books plus your shopping list all in one location.

The app constantly updates too so new features designed for organized book lovers are constantly being added. 

Bookshelf Your Virtual Library is available for free on App Store or Google Play Store. For more information, visit Bookshelf Your Virtual Library's website.
