What a great resource! The obvious professional use here is the potential for dialog among educators, specifically, teachers of the same grade or subject matter. Suggestions for historical biographies for a particular social studies unit, or book recommendations for great read alouds! The sky is the limit!
I love the LibraryThing Local feature as well. The thought of one storehouse for all Houston book events (book festivals, author readings, signings, discussions and other events they host) is a fantastic tool! Planning ahead for group gatherings (personal or professional) couldn't be easier, based on this information. Very cool!
I think this would be a great resource to share with parents at conferences. It seems like parents are forever asking me for book recommendations and local literary resources. This would be a great place to start!
I did do some exploring in the groups area of the site. I found one that fits a personal interest -- the Twilight Club (for fellow Stephenie Meyer lovers!). And although it's currently listed as a private group, I also stumbled across one called "5th Grade Readers and Writers." That might be worth exploring some more!
