A web search for "image carousels" should turn up lots of entries for examples and demos of code (mostly javascript) that can be used to create what suits your needs.

Subject: Re: FW: New book carousel widgets

Hello all,
I have been following this with interest as I would like to add books to both our library webpage and the facebook page.  However, we do not subscribe to LibraryThing for Libraries  nor are the sites Wordpress sites.  Does anybody have any suggestions?  Has anybody used the amazon widget on their library site or facebook page?
Kind regards,
Claire Bell

I have also pointed Kevin towards the new Book Display Widget from LibraryThing for Libraries.

There is a "showcase" page for it at
http://www.librarything.com/forlibraries/bd_showcase.php

If anyone would like more information about it, please do get in touch.

Best wishes,

Subject: New book carousel widgets

Hello, we're looking into new ways of promoting our new library stock, and wondered whether anyone had any experience of using carousel widgets, such as those Amazon use for their items.

https://widgets.amazon.co.uk/Amazon-Carousel-Widget/?id=V20070822/GB/amawid-21/8010/5081e288-f397-447c-bd2c-380d48bba10b&ref=assoc_wdgt_gb


I've noticed various libraries have them on their Libguides and wondered how they were doing it. For instance, this is City University

http://libguides.city.ac.uk/content.php?pid=239258&sid=1974149

We don't have Libguides, but wondered how we could implement something like this on our website/blog, with potentially a link to our catalogue for each book.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Kevin
