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!

What my profile doesn’t show is that I joined at 2AM! I found this site during a long bout of insomnia, and spent many nights checking out the site, posting a bunch of old books (turns out quite a few of them were Wish Listed!) Since joining, I don’t think a day has passed when I didn’t visit the PBS website.
Happy Birthday – and thanks to all the people who keep it going!
Greetings book people!
I have been a member since 12/8/2010. Happy dance! 🙂

Happy Birthday Paperback Swap! This is the greatest website ever. I have read books that I would have never read and was able to share my book with other book lovers like myself instead of letting this be laid to rest on my bookshelve. May you live to be 100!!!!!!
Member since 8/11/2008 and have enjoyed ALL of it! Happy Birthday and Thanks to SWAP and all those people with whom I have exchanged books!
I’ve been a member since 3/3/2009!
I’ve found so many great authors that I would have never been exposed to by browsing PBS, and I’m grateful for taking part in keeping reading alive!
