Bookcrossing Free Books Site

I have just seen a section in my local library, in Baldoyle, that had free books.

They are part of a movement that is eco friendly and makes the whole world a big library and encourages people to read a book and send it on. I don't know all the details yet but you can find them at www.bookcrossing.com
I will be checking it out of course.

I have just downloaded some free Bookcrossing labels on the site. I think I might release my first book on JT!

Thanks for the reminder, unapam. The popular "Bookcrossing" site was added to the "Useful Sites" thread a while back. Please see post #21...here:

the recycling center in wicklow town does this as well it also puts up furinture swaps and other stuff. we also do a second hand school book shop where primary school books cost 2 euro secondary cost 3 and collage are 5 euro all the money goes to oxfam.
