I didn't know for sure the best place to post my discovery, though it may be something you already know about.
I just discovered www.paperbackswap.com
It was mentioned in a newspaper I receive, you offer books to swap and get credits to request books others have listed. All it costs is the cost of sending your books out to someone when they are requested, usually about $2.50.
You get 2 credits for listing a minimum of 10 books, then another credit everytime you ship out a book. No postage to pay on those you receive. They have thousands of books listed.

Thanks for sharing, Cindy Lou. This would be useful if the library doesn't have the book wanted.

cindy Lou,
Thanks so much for sharing this. I just cleaned out my book collection today and have a stack of books to swap or get rid of. What a great idea!
