While this app does have the option of adding a physical location of each of your books, I found the categories much faster to add and it will be faster to edit the location- because lets face it, we are constantly moving books around. To add a book to a category, I go to my list of unfiled books, click on a book title, click on “move book” and then select the category. Some of my categories are “Animal Tub”, “Biography Tub”, “Craft Room Bookshelf”, “Leveled Library”, and “Professional” (plus a TON more). Now you may wonder, how could I utilize this feature? Books that are scanned into this app are automatically placed in the “unfiled” section of your library and will remain there until you place them in a category. I have created categories for all the different locations where I may have books. It will let you know all the titles despite the location (super useful if you have books everywhere- in baskets, themed tubs, bookshelves, etc) Which also brings me to the next reason I love this app….Ħ. So if you are wanting to know all the level N books in your classroom, simply look up the tag.

(I used a free app called Literacy Leveler to look up levels on some of my books). This is a great app to keep track of those leveled libraries! While it doesn’t look up the guided or lexile reading levels for you, if you know the level already simply add it as a tag. Which bring me to the next reason I love this app….Ī look at some of the books listed under the tag “Pigs”ĥ. No more searching through all the book tubs for titles! I just love this- especially when you have books that can be placed in various places in your classroom/home. Now, when I am teaching a unit on pigs, I just look up all my books with the “pig” tag and this book and others will show up. For example, after scanning “If You Give a Pig a Pancake” into my library, I added the following tags: “animals”, “breakfast”, “comical”, “level k”, “pigs”, “problem solving”, and “sequencing”. You are able to sort and search books by tags. You are able to easily add tags to each book that is in your Book Buddy library. One of my favorite features of this app is the tagging system. There are also some links if you need to purchase more copies of the book.Ĥ.
This is also a great tool in getting additional background on the authors. After a book is added to your library that is in the database, there is a link to an online summary as well as reviews. No worries though- YOU can take a picture of the book! This is another feature that you could use when adding those books made by your kiddos.ģ. While lots of books have pictures of the titles already stored in the database, there are exceptions. Cute, right? It makes those homemade books feel more professional.
OR you may want to add some of your classroom’s created books. You may think- why would I want to manually add books? Well, sometimes a book might not be in the database. You can easily add books to your library 3 ways: scanning the barcode, searching in an online database, or manually adding the books.
