Paperback swap
By NC5th

Clip to ScrapBook   
I don't know if you have other books that you can swap with people, but there is a site called paperbackswap.com where you put in all the books you are willing to trade and then people can choose from your books. For every
book you send out (you only pay postage costs) you are given a credit to get a free book. It's nice because you can choose from over a million books. They also have a boxer option, where you can search for books by genre and get a whole bunch of books at once from one person (as long as they are willing to swap for the same number of books from your collection). The boxer option saves
a lot on postage because you're mailing multiple books at the same time. I used to teach 3rd grade and then moved to 5th, so I was able to build up a great library of Newberry and Coretta Scott King award books by using this website. They also have a companion website called swapacd.com where you can enter CDs that you no longer listen to. When you earn credits from swap a cd, you can transfer those credits to your paperback swap account.
