You just have to pay shipping like with paperback swap but I think it's cool because you list your books and request others, then when someone who has one of your requests wants one of your books you trade! I've tried both and can say I def like swaptree better! It's also cool because you can get movies and video games too. Hi there, just wanted to let you in on another great site, it’s called swaptree.

The public library here has a good on-line renewal and notification system. They send you an email and remind you to renew 3 days before the item is due, and you can renew quickly on their website. This has saved me a lot of overdue fines! Thanks for visiting. LDH, another library lover. The public library here has a good on-line renewal and notification system.

I don't miss them at all! I do still buy books (but usually after I've read them at the library and know I want my own copy), but I no longer fear moving. It was a great release. I gladly pay my library fines to support it. Granted, I live in a market with a fantastic public library system.... I also make it known to people when they borrow books that there is a no pressure return policy.
