vox knitting library
Hey, I just noticed in the Knitting group that many of us have loads of fairly new, in-demand knitting books. I was wondering if it would be possible to create a VOX knitting library among those interested. I'm not sure how to moderate it other than the honor system, but I'm open to ideas.
The general idea is that we could ping other VOXers if we're interested in borrowing a book from them, and if so, that person would mail it to the other. We could set down some general rules, like a polite timeframe for borrowing a book, etc.
With the US Postal Service, you can print shipping labels online. This means that, technically, I could pay for postage, generate a label as a PDF and email it to a VOXer that has a book I'd like to borrow. They could print it out and mail the book.

The way I get most of my books is by checking them out of my local library. Some of them have been a long wait, but it's worth knowing if I really want to own them by reviewing them that way first. So you might also see if that's an option for you!
