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!

I have tried others but always use this one the most and have had the most pleasant interactions with other readers through your service. Hope you are here for us forever to be able to continue to swap books with other readers!!!
Member since 7/17/07 with 1,188 books swapped. I’ve met friends through PBS, obtained wonderful recommendations for new authors for myself that I otherwise would not have known about, and gotten gift quality books for my 8 grandchildren and 7 nieces and nephews. I couldn’t ask for a better site to be a member with, other book lovers and avid readers!
I’ve been a member since 2009. Happy Birthday!
I just celebrated my 4th anniversary here on August 24! I joined in 2007! I have read so many more books than I would have if I hadn’t joined. And in the last year I have discovered the join of listening to Audiobooks in my car as I drive around doing errands. So much better than talk radio or the same songs played over and over again!! I have had much success finding new (to me) authors because of this website! I have referred others here and posted about you to our local newspaper and on FB of course! Because of this site I am now on swapadvd.com and swapacd.com! Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday, PBS! Absolutely love the site. I have been a member since January of 2010 and will continue to be for many, many more years, I’m sure!
