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 B’day! Wow, only 2 years & 4 months since I discovered this super site. Seems like I’ve been swapping for ever.
Hi,
I’ve been a member for about a year, and I’d like to enter this contest!
Although the instructions say “you can find it in “My Profile” under “My Account” I can’t find a menu or tab for “My Profile.”
Sorry I can’t tell you exactly how long I’ve been a member, but I have enjoyed sending and receiving books.
Thanks!
Happy birthday! Lucky seven! I’ve been a member a magical 3 years. Cake and beer!
I’ve been a member for about 3 years. One of my good friends told me about it. It’s awesome! Thanks and Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday i have been a member since 12/20/2008 wow this sight is great i think i read 10 times more then i used to thanks to paperback swap HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
I have been a member 3 years and 9 months. I was shocked to find out I have sent out 173 books over the years. Love these sites!
I’ve been a member 10/21/2010. I’ve been much more successful at sending books out than receiving but that’s because my wish list is filled with hard to find stuff. Wonderful website and I have recommended it to many people. I’m always recommending the site to people at garage sales with lots of books left over. Love the site. – Sandra R.

I’ve been a member for 3 years and have lived in as many places during that time, and watched my little boy grow from a baby to a 3 year old! PBS has made the early years of motherhood go by quickly, with so many good books to read. 🙂
That is exciting!! Happy Birthday!! The drawing is on my birthday too! 🙂 I would love to win credits. THank you for the opportunity.
I have been a member since 6/28/11, so only a couple of months, but I already LOVE PBS!
I’ve been a member since 12/12/2005. PBS has been great, allowing me to get rid of books I would never get around to reading and trading them for books I really want. I mostly appreciate the wish list feature. Thank you so much for starting this site.
HAPPY B. DAY PBS!!!!! I’ve been a proud member since Oct 2007. Keep up the good work!
