Gently Used Books
By Sam5

Clip to ScrapBook   
Garage sales are often a great place to find books. Also, mention it to your friends, neighbors, and fellow church goers. I have received many items from people whose children have out grown them. This is the way I got most of my indoor recess games. Another way, is to put the word out to your students' parents. In my district, I am known as the "book" teacher. I have students' parents that I had years ago drop things off. People I don't even know often drop off books to me because they know I will find them a good home. I take out the ones I want for my classroom library, give some to my fellow teachers, and give some away to my students.
