Book Trading Network

Trying to get kids reading in the city.  Honor system based lending and exchange/trade points at churches and other spots of books that have been "tagged" with a simple sticker that could be printed from any laser/inkjet.  So anyone could tag their own / favorite books and leave them at an exchange site or someplace out into the community (bus / bart / etc) with a tag saying you can return this to the nearest exchange site go to the web address.

Goal would be to have kids who may not have access to kids books and new kids books get them into their hands.   If they really loved a book they could keep it.  If they liked it they could be encouraged to write a message to the next reader and leave it inside (possibly on a bookmark).
