BookCrossing is something I heard about from a team member. She told me it was a great way to share books with strangers. And you feel as if you are giving your books good homes. Passing the literary wealth around, if you will.
Here is what the BookCrossing website had to say:
BookCrossing is earth-friendly, and gives you a way to share your books, clear your shelves, and conserve precious resources at the same time. Through our own unique method of recycling reads, BookCrossers give life to books. A book registered on BookCrossing is ready for adventure.
Leave it on a park bench, a coffee shop, at a hotel on vacation. Share it with a friend or tuck it onto a bookshelf at the gym -- anywhere it might find a new reader! What happens next is up to fate, and we never know where our books might travel. Track the book's journey around the world as it is passed on from person to person.
Wow. This sounds interesting to me. And a way to share my love of reading with others. BookCrossing has a current membership 819,769 book lovers in nearly 150 countries. And they are growing at the rate of 300 new members daily.
It is easy to participate. You sign up, complete your profile & create a library of your books. Each book will be assigned a BookCrossing ID Number. You'll label your book with its ID number - then you can set it free!
There are community forums to interact on. Even a Newbie Forum for any questions that you may have. There is also a BookCrossing Supply Shop that has labels for your book or bookmarks that explain the program or even release bags to protect your book from the elements as it goes on its journey. Which made me think of a winged book!
