Heather, you have a Home Library system??? We have Collectorz for movies, and we're working on getting the module for books, too. The problem is that a good half of my reference books have a copyright date of pre-1900 (Hooray for eBay!), so they're not included in any of the databases since there's no ISBN, and some are even too old to have a LOC number. So those will all have to entered manually. :sigh:
So what system do you use? Or did you make your own?

Part of my reasoning is this is the only table free to do mini and craft work at, and the other half is that it's somewhat of a safe haven for things I don't want my son's paws on. (thus the mini projects in progress since they are so fragile.)
