I’ve been on my local Freecycle.org board for a while and I’ve traded quite a few things on there. If you haven’t joined your local chapter, you should look into it. It’s a fabulous way to save money and help the environment by keeping things out of landfills.
The other day, a woman posted that she had a box of (mostly) children’s books to give away. I hopped right on that and sent her a message. I picked them up after work last Friday and was pleasantly surprised to find some great titles in there:
There are several titles I’ll use for my classroom (Like Sarah, Plain and Tall and Goosebumps) and a few that I’ll pass on to the younger kiddos. There were several books in the box that weren’t at all school appropriate, so I have a Walmart sack filled with books that I’ll be donating to my library for the Friends of the Library sale.
For just the cost of gas across town, I got a few great books and am able to donate as well. Good deal, no?
