I love this idea. I'm changing my ways and instead of having this huge
library here at home with tons of bookshelves all over and boxes of
books in the garage, I've been posting and selling at half.com and ebay
and using the public library. I'd be happy to add some books to the
unschooling lending library.

My first idea is that I could list available books and anyone interested
could send me their address (offlist). Then I'd send that request list
along with the book to the first person who requests it. Future
requests could be sent via email to the person who currently has the
book.

Or maybe someone can think of a more clever way. An online request list
without addresses? Posted at yahoo? That might be better. I played
around a little there and made a test file.

It costs $1.33 for the first pound, which is most books, sent via media
mail.

Anyone else interested? Ideas?
