It's time for another post on more ways you recycle your books, save money, and get new books to read for a very minimal fee! Previously I posted about using local used book stores to sell your books, I use that for many of my old teaching resources and heavier books (since postages is involved in PBS, PaperBackSwap). See here for more details for that post if you missed it.
What is PaperBackSwap? PBS is an online community where you can swap books, meaning you can recycle your books but also get new gently used books to read from others! The swapping is entirely online and they have a huge catelog of books ranging from fiction to cookbooks, children's literature to biographies. There is something for everyone, and you can even swap DVD's.
Also, when you sign up and post 10 books to your account that you want to swap, you'll get FREE credits to start you off that you can use to choose new reading material. The site is user friendly, and when someone requests a book they send you an email, and you follow a few easy steps. You can eve print off the shipping label at home, then toss it in your mailbox for convienent delivery. It's easy to use, is a good way of recycling books, and fun to get new reading material in the mail.
How do I get started? Click here, sign up (make sure you put in my nickname, savvyteacher as your referral!) and then start loading books onto your online bookshelf.
Happy Reading!
