By Deana (PBSDeana) – PaperBackSwap Team
That’s right, it’s our 7th birthday!
We’ve passed some great milestones in the last year including 5 million books posted, the 10 millionth book mailed and received, donating over 32,000 books to schools & 17,500 books to the military. We’ve also swapped hundreds of thousands of books and added plenty of fantastic new features to make the Club even better. We’ve added new members, made new friends, found new authors we never would have tried, played games, laughed and shared and cried with each other, and learned so much along the way. We are delighted to see how the Club has grown and evolved in the past 7 years, and look forward to many more years reading together.
It’s no secret that all of our volunteers and members are what makes PBS the wonderful community it is today. In celebration of all of you that have made the last seven years so incredible, the PBS Team is turning the tables and giving YOU the birthday gifts! We are a group of readers, so of course there’s no better present than book credits!
To enter our Happy Birthday to Us Drawing, just respond to this post and tell us how long you’ve been a member of PBS. If you aren’t sure how long you’ve been a member, you can find it in “My Profile” under “My Account”. If you haven’t chosen a nickname or made a profile yet, now would be a great time. Simply go to “My Account”, choose “Settings” and click “Set Up a Profile”. You can also see the date you joined on each forum post you write.
We will draw 7 responses at random to receive 7 credits each! The contest will end on Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at 7:00 pm. We will announce the 7 winners of 7 credits each on Wednesday, September 7, 2011. Do you see a pattern here?
Good luck, and go eat a piece of cake for us!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY B-DAY PBS!!! Many MANY happy returns!!!
I joined on June 4th, 2007, so I’ve been a PBS member for 4 years, 2 months, and 28 days!
I’ve been a member since 7/20/2009!
2 years, 2 months and 12 days. (I think!)
Time flies when you’re having fun. I joined 2/26/2009 – Wow- 2 1/2 yrs ago. I’ve got more books than I have time to read but enjoy finding wl books to add to the system, even if I don’t want to read them. Most of the people I’ve “met” have been so-oo friendly. Happy Birthday PBS!!
I’ve just past my three year swapiversary this summer. (07/19/2008) Thank you PBS.
Happy Birthday PBS!! Congratulations on your seven years and best wishes for many wonderful years to come. I joined 4/8/09 and it’s been a blast to meet new friends.
Happy birthday PBS—thank you for making a wonderful website that feeds all of our addiction….reading! =)

I joined 11/14/2009, still wet behind the ears.
I’ve been a paperbackswap member since Christmas Day, 2009, so nearly two years now. Paperbackswap has been a godsend since I’m now on such a limited budget after becoming disabled. Between the savings and the ability to have books come to my doorstep I am forever grateful. Plus I get books for my grandchildren through PBS.
Happy Birthday! And many more 🙂
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PBS!!
I joined on June 20, 2007 – I’ve been a member for 4 years, 2 months, and 12 days 🙂

I have been a member of PBS since October, 30, 2008. However, I didn’t start swapping until July 28, 2010. I’ve been swapping for just over a year, and looking back, I don’t know why I let my account sit for two years before jumping into the fun!
Member since 1/21/09
Love this site! I have found new authors, let go of books that were taking up space, gotten new books to fill up that space and have had a lot of fun reading and posting on the forums.
I have obtained Christmas and birthday gifts and spread my budget further.
Happy Birthday, PBS
