New applicants, there is a quiz at the bottom of this chapter that you must complete as part of your application.

The Flexible Book Exchange (FBE) runs monthly. On the 1st of each month, a list of active members and their books will be posted. This is our library to pick book club books to read.
If you are accepted for the month, your book will be added under the appropriate genre heading and the section you've requested. Your application must be accepted before you can send requests.
