You Spent Years Building Your Reading History. You Should Actually Own It

Years of book ratings, shelves, and reading dates represent real personal history. It should be possible to take that history with you. MyBibliotheca supports importing library data and exporting your own reading information, giving you a practical way to move your books and keep a portable record. Create a free account when you are ready to build a library you can manage.

Start with an export of your books

Before leaving any book tracker, download a copy of your library data from that service. Then use MyBibliotheca’s supported CSV import to bring in your existing titles. Review the import results before adding them, so you can see what was recognized and correct anything that needs attention. The library import guide explains the process.

Keep your own backup

Portability matters after the first import too. MyBibliotheca provides data export options so you can keep a copy of your library and reading history. The backup and export guide describes what you can download and how to create an export.

A backup is useful even if you are happy with your current service. It gives you a snapshot you control and helps reduce the worry that years of reading notes exist in only one place. Consider exporting periodically as your library grows.

Choose a tracker that respects your records

A reading tracker should help you keep your data organized and accessible. Import your existing books, add sessions and notes over time, and make an occasional backup. Start your MyBibliotheca library and keep your reading history moving with you.
