Readers read. That's a given. Now's your chance to read, watch and chat about all those books turned into movies: past, present and future. Tell us what you think. Do you read a book first or see the movie first? Or maybe tell which books ought to be in pictures, which succeeded, which made you cringe. Lights! Camera! Read 'em!

This forum is where BookCrossing members can report problems they encounter with the site: things believed to be a bug, or broken, or coding problem, but not a question on how BookCrossing works. (For those questions, please use our Site Questions: Basic and Advanced forum.) Please be sure to be as precise and clear as you can be in relaying information on quirks, bugs, things not working correctly, broken links etc. Some suggestions for how to help make sure your post gives complete information etc can be found here. Thank you for your support!

Are you a teacher, librarian, or parent, interested in sharing ideas for using BookCrossing to stimulate the love of reading (and sharing) in kids and/or library patrons? If so, this is the forum for you. We've also got two helpful one-pagers to get you started: BookCrossing in the Classroom and BookCrossing and Libraries (both are PDF format, so you'll need the free Acrobat Reader software).

Want a new feature on www.bookcrossing.com? Post your request or ideas for site features here. Or chime in with your ideas and yours might be the one! Member feedback and opinions are valued, so go ahead and say what you like or dislike about a proposed idea or how you think it could be improved. Brainstorm away! Please use the subject line to clearly identify your request subject as specifically as possible. Though we may not be able to comment on each idea, our volunteer Support Team and BC Staff do check this forum regularly.

Do you want to manage an OBCZ (Official BookCrossing Zone)? Do you want to start a new one? Then this is the forum for you. Discuss what works, what doesn't, and anything else related to starting and maintaining these wild book-friendly physical points of presence. (More info at Become a BookCrossing Zone .) OBCZ Primer: here. Article on how to get your zone listed on the Go Hunting pages and a great little logo to identify it as an OBCZ here. Don't forget to add your zone to the OBCZ Wiki started by carnelian-rune June 2010. (There's also Netstations's OBCZ Maps slightly outdated, but still useable listing is here. Unfortunately, this listing is not taking edits and updates any more. WYSIWYG)

Are you searching for the perfect next reader for a book? Perhaps you want to offer a book (or books) as a contest prize, or just want to give some books away. Maybe you want to swap books with another person, or search for someone to RABCK*. Here is a good place to start. You can also use this forum if you are in search of (ISO) a particular title. And don't forget to search BookCrossing wishlists, to see if someone is wishing for a specific book (You'll need to click on "wishlists"). Please note: exchanging or trading or swapping by any other name is still a completely personal choice, and not all members wish to participate. Check profiles and individual Private Message pages for indications regarding trading preferences, and observe site etiquette regarding requesting a book.

Found a duplicate city in your country? Is your favorite release zone listed 4 times, or (gulp) does it have a typo in it? Do you know of a zone that is mis-mapped, has moved or is no longer in existence? Post it here and be sure to include as much information as you can (Country, State, City, Zone name if applicable, as it is listed and as it should be or maybe even a link to a book released there), and our volunteer Region Managers and Support team will try to fix it for you and respond here. Winged members are welcome to dive in and help with remapping any locations that need fixing. More info can be found here.
