The BookPoints Community
2020 is the biggest year ever for the BookPoints community! Dozens of libraries are using BookPoints this summer to safely and cost-effectively deliver summer reading programs to thousands of patrons across the United States. (And Canada! A hearty "welcome" to our new libraries up north! :-)
We made a simple map so you can check out summer reading programs in your area and across the country. Is your library using BookPoints but isn't on the map? Let us know!

New "reCAPTCHA" anti-spam feature available
A few libraries so far have reported that spam-bots have been creating accounts on their site and attempting to submit book reviews. (As you know, the Book Review feature can't be used for spamming, because librarians must approve any post before it goes public. Nevertheless, the spam-bots keep trying. :-)
The BookPoints app has a "reCAPTCHA" option that we can enable to help prevent spammers from creating an account. (This is the feature you've probably seen on other websites where you must click the picture of motorcycles or storefronts to confirm your humanity.)
