Why not JUST go to the Library?
Libraries are terrific community meeting centers for arts, research, entertainment and so much more. If your nearest library is close to home, is open when you're available and has enough popular titles in stock to keep you off the waiting list and knee-deep in new releases, BookSwim encourages you to frequent your local libraries as often as possible. Just don't forget to renew to avoid late fees! |

What about Swapping Sites?
Exchanging books among strangers online is another way to get your literary fix. For the instances that the book you want is available, you don't mind waiting around for fellow members to get around to shipping your book, and you also have a book another member wants, arranging book swaps can ensure you receive the books you don't want right away. |
