A while back I posted about this really cool website called LibraryThing. (Well, it's cool for bibliophiles and bookivores. Not so much for non-geeks.) It's an online catalog for your own personal library, and all you have to do is tell it the ISBN or LoC for each book! The first 200 books are free, after that it's either $10 a year for unlimited books or $25 for an unlimited lifetime membership. While this is undoubtedly a very cool website, I undoubtedly have more than 200 books, and no money to spend on something as frivolous as a book catalog (grad school, y'know).

Speaking of cool things, the woman who is co-directing the seminary Children's Choir with me mentioned that she happens to have a lot of old hymnals sitting around that she's trying to get rid of. Well, gee, it so happens I collect old hymnals. Particularly if she's got multiple copies of them--I like four hymnals per copy, when possible, so that if necessary I can get a four-part harmony going. See, for me, sitting around a piano singing hymns in four-part harmony is a form of recreation. And you want a wide variety of stuff to sing, right? And a choice of harmonizations, because sometimes newer books have none (ELW, I'm looking at you) or really screwy ones (don't think I don't see you, LBW).
