Swap books
There are several book swapping groups that I have read
about over the last several months. Each
allows you to exchange books with other readers for the cost of postage
alone. I have not checked it out but
here are three of the names that have been referenced in a magazine and
newspaper article received at my home.
PaperBack Swap
Book-Mooch
TitleTrader
For eReaders, there are several options for
FREE or deeply discounted books. I have signed up to receive the daily email
notices as well as LIKED them on Facebook.
FREE community
library for your street or neighborhood
For the industrious and community library minded
individuals, one can build a little “library box” of sorts that can be kept in
your neighborhood. You start by
providing some books and then let others know that they can pick up of a book
and bring a book to share as well. The
size of the box can vary and seems to primarily up to the individual. I have actually asked my husband to modify
one of his larger birdhouse designs to accommodate my desire to start one in
the front of my house near our driveway entrance even though I feel sure that I
will need approval of some sort from our homeowners association. Check it out for yourself and also stay tuned
for the results of my efforts. Isn’t it wonderful to have so many choices? For the record, the answer is YES.
