    Default Thrifting Yields More Paperbacks

    I went to the local Goodwill today, and found 10 more paperbacks to add to my classroom library! I got titles like: Babysitter's Club, Junie B. Jones, and several from the Scholastic book clubs!

    I also found 3 cotton blouses which I can start school in.

    I didn't find anything for my kids, though!

    Does your library have a small section where they sell the pb/hb that they are taking off the shelf? This might be another way to increase the cr library.

    If so, check it out. Mine has a small but decent section and they are only 25 cents. They separate the kids books from the adults. They also have magazines and I see lots of kids mags. there.
    Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.

    I love the book section at our Goodwill as well. I have found so many great hardcovers that I have added to my already huge collection. Great finds!

    Sounds like you had a good trip. I love finding bargains like that. Books can get so expensive.
