Better World Books - Donate and Buy Used Books

I saw this site referenced in a magazine article about getting kids involved in charity, and I have to say I love the idea.  My kids, like most, have a hard time donating their old stuff, but I think I could get them to choose a book or two to mail in to this organization, which uses proceeds to support world literacy programs.

All you need to do is go onto the website and request a shipping label that you can print out so that you can ship your books to BWB for free. A great way to teach your kids about charity without any out of pocket expense.

The site also sells books, so you can purchase used books that others have donated.  I looked up Dr. Seuss, and there were a lot of titles for around $3-$4 each, plus shipping is free! The site labels each book depending on the condition, so you will see "used great" to "used acceptable" next to the price.

The way I go through books this is absolutely going to save me money.  As much as I do adore the library, I also like to be able to keep my books on my shelf like little markers of accomplishment.  And I love to keep my kids' bookshelves fresh and full too:)  The link to the site is below.
