LibraryThing’s 12th Annual Holiday Card Exchange

The 12th annual LibraryThing Holiday Card Exchange is here!

Here’s how it works:

  • Mail a holiday card to a random LibraryThing member.
  • You can mail a handmade or store bought card. Add a special note to personalize it.
  • You’ll get one from another member. (Only that member will see your address.)
  • In order for cards to be delivered correctly to you, you must include your real name in the address box when signing up: use whatever matches your mailbox. (Only your matches and LibraryThing staff can see your address.)

» Sign up for the LibrayThing Holiday Card Exchange now

Sign-ups for the Card Exchange close Tuesday, December 2 at 12:00pm Eastern (17:00 GMT). We’ll inform you of your matches within an hour or so after signups close, so you can get those cards in the mail.

    Come Join the 2024 Winter Holiday Hunt

    It’s December, and we’re hosting a special Winter Holiday Hunt!

    This hunt is meant to celebrate the season of light, and the holidays it brings. We wish all our members a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and an entertaining hunt!

    We’ve scattered a mint of candles around the site. You’ll solve the clues below to find the candles and gather them all together.

    • Decipher the clues and visit the corresponding LibraryThing pages to find some candles. Each clue points to a specific page on LibraryThing. Remember, they are not necessarily work pages!
    • If there’s a candle on a page, you’ll see a banner at the top of the page.
    • You have almost three weeks to find all the candles (until 11:59pm EDT, Monday January 6th).
    • Come brag about your mint of candles (and get hints) on Talk.

    Win prizes:

    • Any member who finds at least two candles will be
      awarded a candle Badge ().
    • Members who find all 15 candles will be entered into a drawing for one of five LibraryThing (or TinyCat) prizes. We’ll announce winners at the end of the hunt.

    P.S. Thanks to conceptDawg for the candle illustration! ConceptDawg has made all of our treasure hunt graphics in the last couple of years. We like them, and hope you do, too!
