Our catalog has some great social features for people who want to connect with other readers. It's possible to share your ratings, reviews, lists and items on your Shelves if you like. However, not everyone wants to participate and some people would rather keep their reading activities private. The good news is that you have control over what gets shared with others.
To change your privacy settings, log into your library account and select My Settings. Scroll down to the Privacy section. Click Change under My Shelves and/or My Feeds and choose what you would like to keep private. These settings can be changed globally in your account at any time, and you can also change privacy settings for individual items on the fly.
