Personal Library helps you keep a private record of the physical books you own. You can add titles, track quantity and condition, and organize where each book lives using room, bookcase, and shelf locations. It also connects your books to related actions like creating a review, tagging a diary entry, or adding the title to your Reading Log. You can even print custom Ex Libris labels for your books using your saved logo and location details. Optionally you can add reviews and/or diary entries to your Ex Libis label.
