Books

There are several schemes that encourage the free sharing of books, all of which keep books in circulation and out of recycling bins/landfill!

• http://readitswapit.co.uk/ - a free service which allows registered members to swap books, but via the internet. You find something you like, you ask to swap, another ReadItSwapIt member chooses something of yours and you exchange the goods.

• http://bookmooch.com/ - a free international internet based service, with a point system which means you need to give away at least one book for every two you receive.

• http://www.bookcrossing.com/ - a community of book lovers who enjoy sharing our books with others. It's a simple process of adding a BookCrossing label to your books and then “releasing” them into the wild. And then logging into the site to see who finds them and where in the world they end up. It's fun and exciting to “follow” your books as they travel around the world and take on a life of their own. Who knows where they'll go and who will find them and return to the site to enter the ID from your labels...
