  Who is myBookCorner intended for, and is there any charge?
  MyBookCorner is for interested schools or classrooms, as a way to incent voluntary student reading. There is no charge for use in an educational setting. However, myBookCorner reserves the right to suspend or discontinue login privileges for individuals or organizations whose activities become deleterious to the myBookCorner community as a whole.
 
  How does myBookCorner work?
  Students each have their own mybookcorner accounts. when they finish reading a book, they go to mybookcorner.com and record it by entering the title, author, pages, etc. Mybookcorner keeps track of their total books and pages read. Fun reading contests let students compete to be the Reader of the Month.
 
  What are myBookCorner Book Clubs all about?
  MyBookCorner Book Clubs are simply groups of your favorite readers. Your favorite readers could be classmates. Or family members. Or friends. Or all of the above!

After a club is set up, you can get notified of new books they read and browse through what they've read in the past.

These are easy book clubs. You read whatever you want and enter the book. They read whatever they want and enter their books. Your respective BookCorners can then be seen by each other when you visit myBookCorner!

We don't decide for you what books to read next. You do that. Sorry, Oprah.

 
  How can I contact myBookCorner?
  You can click here to contact myBookCorner. Fill out the Contact Us form and it will send us an e-mail. This is especially useful for those without their own e-mail to use.

This Contact Us feature is also available from the main menu at the top of every page.

 
  Who sponsors myBookCorner.com?
  MyBookCorner is a small, family-run organization interested in promoting reading in the schools. We are a California-registered Unincorporated Nonprofit Association (Association registration number 9337).
 
  Our school does not need a new reading program - we already employ several excellent programs.
  MyBookCorner does not seek to replace what you already have; instead, it's a fun tool that provides an incentive for reading. It builds on and complements what you are now doing.

This can be an easy win for your school. MyBookCorner's job is to promote independent reading, which is a home-based activity. Teachers can use myBookCorner as a spur to get their students reading more, but kids and parents mostly use myBookCorner at home. Classroom use is optional and at the discretion of the teacher.

Your school can sponsor an innovative program for no cost and without a lot of extra effort.

 
  Who can see my books?
  Only your classmates or students/parents in your school. Not every myBookCorner visitor can see your books.
