message 1: by Heather (new)

Heather T (horrorvacui000) Just a random request - Instead of just putting the United States as the setting, please try and be as specific as possible. Some groups do location challenges and it helps to have to the states, provinces, etc.


message 2: by Cheryl (new)

Cheryl (cherylllr) | 363 comments Fair enough - I'll try to remember - but I'm not a very active librarian so I hope others see and empathize with your request. :)


message 3: by Lobstergirl (new)

Lobstergirl On the other hand, being too specific sometimes doesn't help. A book with a setting of Tinytown, Nebraska won't show up under "Nebraska" books.

Cheryl (cherylllr) | 363 comments Can't we have two tags for settings? I just did, for One More River, and it seems like it worked fine. I did have to save the first, then go back in and 'edit the details' again to 'add a new setting' for the second. So, you could tag it first for Tinytown, Nebraska, and then again for Nebraska?


message 5: by Lobstergirl (new)

Lobstergirl You could, but that's unbelievably clunky and just adds to the clutter up there in the book data.


message 6: by Cheryl (new)

Cheryl (cherylllr) | 363 comments Well, I don't find it overly clunky or cluttery *personally* (though I do respect that you would, Lobstergirl), and I'll put it in if I think it relevant and remember to accede to Heather's request.

I wanna be nice to everyone, but 'you can't please all of the people all of the time.' :)
