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!

Hi! I’ve been a member of PBS since 8/5/2009, so it’s been just over two years. This site is absolutely phenomenal! Not only does it give people a chance to save money (especially considering the current state of the economy), but it also promotes the enthusiasm of picking up a good book. May print never die! 🙂
I have been a member for three years. I just love PBS!!!
I have been a member since 2007!! wow!
I have been a member of this delightful site since 2008. I am an avid reader and also semi-retired. If I had to buy
new books constantly, I could not afford them now that I am mostly retired. I also love this site for its philosophy
of not wasting and recycling. I tell everyone I know about PBS so it will keep vibrant for many years.
I have been a member since Nov 2007! love this website and have recommended it to many friends and family members.
Happy Birthday!
I joined 4/3/09 and have really enjoyed this site! I’ve been able to get most of my book club’s selections on here, and I’ve definitely been able to pass along most of the selections to others. I love to read, and this is an easy, inexpensive way to share books. I love seeing where they come from or where they go- all across the country.
Been a member since 2/14/2010 and I’ve loved EVERY moment of it. Not only do I love the club but the members. Everyone has been so nice and fun to “play” with!!! Long live PaperBackSwap!
Since January 2011, so awesome, I tell all my friends.
Happy birthday, PaperBack Swap!! I have only been a member since last month (August 2011). I love this site and I think the person or persons who came up with this idea are genius. I love to read and this is a great way to share my love of reading with others.

I am one of the new ones on this site, just little over a weeek. Already have gotten 2 books for my son, that he has been waiting for about a year or more to get on another web site. I am in the process of transferring everything over to paperbackswap site. I found this site by looking for a book and this site came up. Don’t know what I put in the seach bar, but am so happy that I found you all. Thank you!!!!
Happy Birthday PBS! I have been a member since 5/13/09! I love this site and I have recommended it to dozens and dozens of people (who all love it too). I have swapped a total of 716 books (362 going out and 354 coming in)! Thank you so much!!
Joined 11/4/2008. Love your site. Happy birthday.
I’ve been a member since April this year, when I was going through a really tough time and needed a little more literature in my life on a small budget. It’s not an exaggeration to say that PBS significantly helped me crawl my way out of that dark space and see the sun again. Many thanks.
I’ve been a member since 7/19/2006 and absolutely *love* this site!!! I’ve mailed out a little over 300 books in those years and received a little over 500. 🙂
I love reading and have met the most wonderful & generous people here on this board!!!
Thank you for creating this awesome site and Happy Birthday, PBS! May many more wonderful years follow! 🙂
I have joined this website since last year November and I love this site. I began using it not to long ago since I finally figure out how it works, I have to say I love this site. I love the credits I get just for having another person requesting one of my books. This is a site I recommended many people to join especially when they love reading and they love the free books they will find. Happy Birthday and I hope this website will go on for as long as can last….
Member since 8/23/2009 and this is the best thing I ever discovered. I have gotten so many popular books for way cheaper than bookstores are selling them for.
Joined 6/3/2009 and totally love this site!
