(Even better than their usual book orders). As a homeschooler or teacher of any flavor you can also sign up to volunteer to help run the book sale and they will "pay" you with $10 worth of books as a gift certificate for each hour you work. So even if you only work for 3 hours you can get $30 of basically free books - which you can combine with the sale prices AND coupons to get upwards of $100+ worth of books for just 3 hours of your time. Definitely something worth looking into.<br /><br />Also - I LOVE Goodreads, I'm always recommending it to patrons who come into my library and want to keep better track of what they're reading. I love that it also gives you recommendations based on the books you've already read.

They are little "libraries" more like cute little cabinets in people's yards. You can leave a book or take a book, it's free. Check out their web site, to see if there is one in your area. I love this idea, of free books to share.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5094435955251783586.post-8576040384929484222013-09-05T18:55:23.519-05:002013-09-05T18:55:23.519-05:00As well as the occasional book sale, a lot of libr...As well as the occasional book sale, a lot of libraries will keep a book shelf with used books near the front that can be purchased for a few quarters, older books, sometimes with slight damage such as crayon scribbles or the like, or books that were donated that didn't meet their standards. I generally come away with a few every time I visit and it is constantly updated as books are "withdrawn" or donated. Last week I got a copy of Charlotte's Web. It does have the name of some random child scrawled inside the cover, but that doesn't negate the content.

I prefer having the actual book,{nothing like holding it and feeling the pages} but space is limited in this tiny house. They way my daughter reads {a couple of books a month} we'd have no more room for anything else, let alone my stash of books! :) Good advice though. :)Jillianhttp://www.oliveplantsandcornerstones.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5094435955251783586.post-38386187485306155172013-09-05T07:24:03.985-05:002013-09-05T07:24:03.985-05:00What a great post!
