Rachel told us about this site at the last meeting--pretty cool!
Basically, you post books, you get credits, you get books. Below is a
summary--if you use me as a referral and then post 10 books for swap
I'll get a credit :)

- You have books in good condition that you do not want to keep.
- After you have Posted the first 10 books to your bookshelf, you get
2 "startup" credits from PBS to get you started swapping. After that,
you earn credits by sending out books to others. Only the first
account for a household receives startup credits.
-You may order any available book for 1 credit each
-If you want a book that is not currently available, you can place it
on your Wish List and we will notify you by email when it is available
for you to order. You can even have it sent to you automatically when
it becomes available, with no email necessary.
- When a book is requested from you, we notify you by email, provide
the address for you to send it out, and even provide a wrapper!
-Wrap and mail your book.
-When the requester receives it, you earn 1 credit (2 if it is an
audio book). Yes, you pay the postage to send out your books, but when
you request a book, the sender ships it to you free of charge!
-The books you receive from PBS are yours. We hope that you will
repost them to share with other members when you have read them, but
you can certainly keep them, or give them away. Similarly, the books
you send out to others belong to their new owners.
