Wishlist and Gift Registry Help

 

What is a wish list/gift registry?

A wish list is a feature on our website that can be used in many different ways. You can use a personal wish lists to keep track of books to read, or as a list to share with family and friends near and far. New parents/grand-parents can register their baby gift registries with us as well. Teachers, librarians and PTAs can use the lists for donation book drives, classroom/school libraries, and book fairs.
