An Inexpensive Way to Get More Books for Your Classroom Library: Garage Sales

Garage sales can be a great way to find used books to supplement your classroom library, cheaply -- if you are patient enough to browse through the many books. I have been especially lucky to hit garage sales held by retired teachers who no longer have use for the hundreds of books they collected over their many years of teaching.

I also recommend your local Goodwill or Salvation Army. I recently purchased over two dozen books (mixture of hard cover and paperback) for less than $22. I was so thrilled!

You can also check your local Half Price Books Store. Every month, there is a free book giveaway for teachers. It is usually very early on a Saturday. Check with your local store for exact days/times. Some stores may offer it more frequently.

Yep! Been doing this for years. Goodwill and thrift stores, too.
