looking for a group to join. is this a good first group

It is if you're a librarian!

For a 13 year old, no.

Try 'Read YA Lit' which is about young adult books. There is also a comics and graphic novels group.

Hi! This group is for "librarians, catalogers, archivists, students... or anyone else who wants to talk about metadata, tagging, FRBR, library 2.0, social software, cataloging, and, of course, LibraryThing!"

DefinitelyPotentially, it can be a good group, depending on what you want to do. Other groups you might also like (based on your profile)...
