BookMooch

I found a really good site, called BookMooch. Its a free book exchange - you sign up, list books you want to give away. Every time you list a book you get 0.1 'point' in your account. If someone requests your book, you send it to them (you pay the postage), and then you get an additional 1 point. You can browse the inventory and use your points to request books from other members. You can create 'wishlists' of books you want if there are none listed, and then you get an email when they become available. Its not quite as good as going to the library, but better than using a middleman, even Amazon used books, which I also like - and WAY better than buying new at full-price! This is a great way to build your reading habit, get books you want for less, and re-use and re-cycle.

Definitely check this out, and list some of the books I want, will ya'?!!
