A bookshelf you actually keep. - Shelves you arrange yourself Name your own shelves and drag books into the order you want. See them covers out, or spines lined up.

Photograph the cover and it finds the book. - Days that add up Read today? Mark it — the calendar fills in and your streak grows. Log where you are by page or by percent. - Notes along the way A sentence worth keeping, or your thoughts when you finish — every book holds your notes, and they're yours alone. - Your reading becomes a card Books finished, days reading, your pace, your most-read author — one library card. Share it to Stories, Photos, or anywhere else. - Read alongside friends Invite a friend by link and see what they have open right now. Browse their shelves, leave a compliment on a book they've read, and poke the ones who've gone quiet. Friendships are mutual, and only friends can see your library. - Pick up where you left off Jump straight to the book in the app you read it in, or borrow it free from your local library through Libby.

■ 기록 독서 타이머를 켜면 읽은 시간이 그대로 쌓입니다. 마음에 걸린 문장은 책장을 찍고 손가락으로 훑기만 하면 담기고, 다 읽은 날엔 사진 한 장이 독서 엽서로 남아요. 읽은 상태와 별점, 한 줄 리뷰까지. 서재의 그 책 자리에 한 권의 모든 것이 모입니다. ■ 함께 읽기 도서관에는 방이 있습니다. 들어가면 같은 방 사람들이 지금 무슨 책을 읽는지, 읽는 중인지 잠시 쉬는 중인지가 보여요. 각자 다른 책을 각자의 속도로 읽으면서도 같이 앉아 있는 느낌. 누구나 들어오는 공개 방과 코드를 아는 사람만 들어오는 비공개 방을, 옆으로 넘기며 오갑니다. ■ 담이와 대화 책 이야기를 들어주는 파트너 '담이'. 하고 싶은 말을 꺼내면 답해줘요. 오늘 읽은 시간, 눈에 보이게 쌓아보세요.
