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!

This website has been a life saver! Not only was I able to get books to use in homeschooling my children but I also found so many new books and authors to read. 🙂

Happy Birthday, and thank you for keeping my reading addiction well funded! When I lost my husband earlier this year, I couldn’t have handled my depression without the wonderful influx of books. Thank you again for being there when I needed you the most.

Happy Birthday PBS! I LOVE this site, thank you so much!
In August I passed my 4th anniversary as a PBS member. I don’t know where I was the first 3 years? I have received almost 1800 books and have given many as gifts to friends and family members. PBS helped me clean out my home last year when I was moving cross country and couldn’t take very many of my books. However, with all my points I have replenished my library in my new home on the other side. I spend a great deal of time checking new postings and have made many long time friends by exchanges on PBS and through the exchange clubs. Greatest idea on the web!!!
