Counting Books You Do Not Own
Log library books and bedtime stories at Grandma's so they count toward reading totals.
This feature is part of the Full Story plan.
Plenty of the books your children read never live on your shelf: library borrows, classroom read-alouds, a favorite at Grandma's house. You can count those too.
Log in and open the Stats tab.
Scroll to the "Reading by family member" section, where each child has their own row.
On the row for the child who read the book, click the small "+" button on the right, just past their books read count.
Enter the title. The author is optional.
Save. It counts toward that child's reading total right away.
Good to know
These reads are visible only to library managers, and they are why your Stats tab total can be higher than the reading count visitors see at the top of your page. That public number counts only books from your own shelf.
