One of my greatest discoveries of late has been paperbackswap.com. It's a site where you can post books that you have in your library that you're done with and then earn credits to use for books listed (around 4 million in the system!).
All I do from my end is pay the shipping for the books I send, and once the books are received I earn the credits to use to request the books I want (for which the sender pays the shipping). I think the whole system is set up really well and I will save SOOO much money from here on out!
It's great because I've never been too good at the library system where I only have two weeks to read a book. Since I've always bought my books used from Amazon I have a good amount that I posted that I'm now done with so my clutter is being reduced too. Score.

Hmm...I'll have to check that out soon, sounds pretty great! I'm actually half way through the Raising with no Regrets book that you posted :)
I LOVE paperback swap!!!!! I use it all the time and have gotten great books. You have to be patient, but eventually the book you want is likely to get posted.
I have supposedly saved $499.50 so far. Currently I have 2 books on their way to me and 2 ready to mail out!
I do use the library regularly and have a homeschool card that allows me to keep books for 6 weeks! But our library system just doesn't have everything I want, so I use paperback swap. Syd's birthday is on Sunday and she's getting 4 "New" books (from paperback swap).
This sounds soooo neat really.
Won't ever take the time to search it, but would be interesting to know if there is a Canadian one?
Love ya bunches. <3
Totally planning to swap some books! I've already started swapping DVDs:)
