Lori, certainly something to think about.  Our quilting group has their library online with Library Thing.

I to have a ton of books and mags, it's got to the point where some just have to go. I wish everyone was close to check them out and take them off my hands. Some of these books were big bucks, but I  can only make so many quilts and a lot of them are my own patterns or ideas.  I love looking through and getting ideas from these books but I would rather have the space for--you know? FABRIC.   LOL

lori, i will have to decline also. it's too much of a hassle to get to post office. my mail delivered to post office too many miles away to be convenient. rural boxes get pink slips instead of packages delivered, necessitating a drive into town to pick up or deliver. but thanks for the invite. would be fun!

Rogue, it is an online library.  Our group has our books online for members to look at from home.  Our group meets once a week and that way you can look books without having to be there to look through the books.

Wow, never heard of that. All my books are "real", and many no longer available. My favourite store w/in Tx. is the "Half price " book store in Corpus Christie.They sell all new ones ( some no longer in print) 1/2 off, as well as a great selection of previously enjoyed mags. l tend to write crib notes right in my own books...

nearly all mine are no longer available. have not had good luck loaning books. and i don't want to risk my out-of-print books to the mail or forgetfullness. i buy discount books from a out-of-print/discontinued book retailer at small % of original price - i.e ... 4.95$ for 25 or 30$ book. sometimes i spend more...but never more than 6 or 7$ per book.
