Support the project

The quest to serve all 690k residents remains in effect. You can help us get there by:

Sharing us in your social networks, like Twitter ↗ or Facebook ↗.

Set up and instructions

To begin, navigate to the booksfordc extension's options. You find them by clicking on its logo in your Chrome menu bar and then selecting Options.

A window will pop up. Under preferences, choose which media types you want to see and whether you want links to open in a new tab. Then press save options.

You can change your preferences at any time by repeating these steps.

When you look at a book's page on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Goodreads, booksfordc will now get to work finding it in the DC Public Library's catalog.

The video below shows what that looks like (click to view larger).
