We had a very nice birthday at the Decatur Book Festival! It was great to meet some of our members and we got to tell a lot of booklovers about PBS. For more photos of the festival, check out the new Photo Gallery (under Community in the menu at the top of the site).
PBS will be participating in festivals in Montana, WY, Baltimore, Georgia and South Dakota this month. In October, we’ll be in Kansas, New Jersey, Illinois, Tennessee, West Virginia and Florida. Anyone who lives in the area of any of these festivals (see the list below) and who wants to help out, please contact us by sending email to RichardPickering@paperbackswap.com. What volunteers do: man the PBS booth, pass out flyers, yak with prospective members. What volunteers get: the opportunity to get tons of referral credits by passing out flyers/business cards with their referral info on them, a PBS Tshirt, the chance to meet other members in their area, and our undying gratitude! Some of the members who helped with Decatur have already had a lot of new referrals come rolling in…many before the festival had even officially ended!
