    Cheap used books? Who could pass up this offer?! They also have a $1 books shelf. Oh & the money goes to their children's literacy program(s). :)

    Shop for a great cause! Buy a book and help a child learn to read. Purchases from this colorful used bookstore benefit the non-profit organization’s literacy programs.

    Look for their "Open Boxes" sale a couple times a year. You can get even better deals than their already low prices.
