So I just got the most horrible news. My local library has finally raised the $500,000 they needed for improvements to the buildings and are getting ready to close the building for the foreseeable future while they remodel and rearrange the stacks to maximize space. Now my favorite librarian, who is my hook-up for all the best stuff (And yes I know I sound like a junkie jonesing for a hit, but really it sort of works doesn't it!) has assured me that if I give her a list of the books I will need for this years challenges she will be sure to send them over to the satellite office, but once I do that I will be locked into my choices or what I can get from my digital library. All I can say is wish me luck!


You might check into paperbackswap.com

You post books that you want to get rid of, someone requests one of your books, you mail it to them, and then you get a credit that you can use to request a book from someone else. (And when you first sign up, you get (I think) two free credits so you can start requesting right away.)

It's not a completely perfect plan. You kinna have to want books that aren't so popular that everyone wants them or that aren't so obscure that no one ever puts them up for swapping. But if you can figure out those middle-of-the-road books, it's pretty grand.
