## Beskriuwing

Book Grid lets you effortlessly showcase book cover galleries as a stylish grid 
layout. Add books quickly by title—the block fetches cover images from OpenLibrary
automatically—and display attractive captions. The block features responsive settings
to control the number of columns by device, advanced margin and background controls,
and engaging hover effects for interactivity.

**Translations:**
 * Spanish (es_ES) – Included * Translation Ready – All text strings
are internationalized. Community translations are welcome!

### External Services

 * What: Open Library search and cover image APIs (`openlibrary.org`, `covers.openlibrary.
   org`)
 * Use: Look up book cover IDs and download cover images so the block can render
   book art automatically.
 * Data sent: The book title you enter in the block is sent as a search query when
   you add or update a book. Cover image requests include the cover ID returned 
   by Open Library. No other data is transmitted.
 * Terms and privacy: [Terms of Service](https://openlibrary.org/terms) — [Privacy Policy](https://openlibrary.org/privacy)
