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!

Happy Birthday PBS! I’ve been a member since June 6, 2007. I love this website and have had some really good experiences. Thank you to all who make it happen!
I’ve been a member since April 2009 or almost 2 and 1/2 yrs. I love PBS. Not only have I found wonderful art, art history jewelry, antique books and books on cooking and travel. I have found many more books as small gifts for my 4 kids and 1 grandson. In addition I’ve used my swaps in teaching art.
I’ve even found some great history books for my husband and he is picky. You can’t beat PSB!
I just became a member yesterday! It sounds so amazing and I just moved lol so all my books are in boxes, but I like the idea of passing some of them on in order to receive some myself! Can’t wait to get unpacked and started!
I’ve been a member for just a few days! Great so far!
I joined PaperBack Swap just this year, and I’ve been enjoying it a LOT!
Oh – actually, I just checked and I joined two years ago, but I just became *active* here this year.

Happy Birthday PBS! I just became a member on August 30, 2011. I love to read though I have mobility issues so am not able to go to very many bookstores. I looked up “used books” online and found this wonderful website. I can get all my favorite authors books as well clean out my library a bit. This was truly a great idea! I have already sent one book, have requests for two more that I hope to get mailed tomorrow, and have two books on the way, all in just four days! Thank you for providing such a wonderful site!

I’ve only been a member for a couple months. I joined this site a few years ago though and loved it! Now I’m back and I love it even more! Thanks so very much for this service and happy birthday (and many, many more)!
I’ve been a member since October 2, 2008. I like that I save so much money reading books I love and sharing the ones I have. I hate to get rid of books not knowing if it would be enoyed as me and my family have. A perfect set up for me and my family. I’ll be a member forever 🙂

Hi PBS people! My membership began on June 5, 1007 and I’ve been loving it every since! Happy Birthday to the dedicated PBS team that keeps this going. I love being able to “recycle” my unused books and it’s great fun to receive books in the mail. It’s like a gift every time I open my mailbox and find a package from another PBS member. I’ve met some of the nicest people on this site and hope to meet many more in years to come. Thanks PBS, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
