= = =What is Shelfari?= Shelfari is a social media site focused on books. Members can build virtual bookshelves, discover, rate and discuss books, and participate in online groups.

=How can Shelfari be used?= Shelfari is a way for readers all over the world to connect with other readers. Book groups use Shelfari to discuss a book of the month, a new author or a favourite genre. Shelfari is for people of all ages and interests.

Wesley Libraries FanClubs invites you to recommend a favourite book or author to other students in Years 5 and 6. By using Web 2.0 tools like Shelfari, you are exploring new technologies and learning new skills. This is also a great opportunity for you to carefully consider your responses to fiction and recreational nonfiction in a non-threatening way. After all, not everyone is comfortable with the idea of speaking in front of a group. Shelfari reviews are also a good way to practise your writing skills.

Can you "sell" your favourite reads to other students? Can you learn to write more effectively? Try Shelfari and give it a go! Above all take up the challenge to share your enjoyment of reading!

=Examples= Here is an example of a Group Shelf in Shelfari. These shelves can be used to connect with other readers in a virtual Reading Shelf.
