Empress (the_empress) You are not a librarian, however adding books to the database counts as a "librarian edit" so you may occasionally get into the weekly/monthly top lists of librarians for your country.

The same way adding few hundred books to your shelves will get you into a top reviewer list even if you did not actually review a single book.

Kendra G. ツ ~There is some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for~ (12kendrag) | 10 comments Ohhh! I see now, okay then. I added a book to the database, and it said I did a librarian edit, which I assumed meant I had finally gotten in as a librarian, since I've applied a few times. I've added more than one book before, and the same thing has a happened, so naturally, I was confused.

No, sorry, if you are a librarian under your profile picture will say Goodreads librarian (see my profile page or someone else around here).

Also, I believe, they will let you know if you become one.


Kendra G. ツ ~There is some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for~ (12kendrag) | 10 comments Okay.

I don't like that I don't even get one response from GR when I submit the reasons why I think I should become a Gr librarian. It makes me feel like they're ignoring me. Even though that's not true (well, I hope it's not hehe), they could at least tell me, no, I did not become a librarian.

I know what you mean, but they do tell you that beforehand:

"Please note that no notification is sent if an applicant is not accepted to the program." (https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/1...)

Marijan Šiško (dorcavorbarra) | 12 comments maybe you just need to wait a little longer.

I've applied more than once in the past months.

Oh. I guess I didn't see that. Strange, because I've sent the application three different times.
