Tackle it Tuesday -- getting started

It's actually, Wednesday, I know, but since Monday was a holiday, my week's schedule is a day off. My housekeeping schedule is Monday: bathrooms, Tuesday: organization, Wednesday: living areas or bedrooms, Thursday: tile floors, Friday: vacuum. The idea of Tackle it Tuesday, hosted by 5 Minutes for Mom, fits perfectly with my schedule. Each Tuesday, I'll tackle an organizational project and post the details here.

This week, I worked on the LLL library. We have three bins full of books, but I'd say only three or four titles are regularly checked out. I weeded through and posted about twenty of our books on paperbackswap. Nine have already been requested, so I have those packaged up to take to the post office tomorrow.

Paperbackswap is a great resource for readers (and declutter-ers)! You list books you want to get rid of. When a book is requested by another user, you pay the shipping ($1.59 media mail) to send that person the book, and you get one credit in your account. You use your credits to request books you want. You can keep a Wishlist of books you want and be notified when those are posted or even have them automatically ordered for you. It's totally free, except for your shipping expenses.
