Great advice!!Our elementary school library has discards which are sometimes older books from the 40's and 50's and the stories in them can be wonderful and the artwork like old etchingsand prints are inspiring for me. Last night we read a story called Wave Child from a collection of discards. My kids LOVED it :) Thanks for introducing us to Frugal Family, a new fave mom Kim Baisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899650459408364102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4553990294643991122.post-25974479125956088902009-10-23T21:23:23.334-04:002009-10-23T21:23:23.334-04:00Lynn

Unfortunately our library does not have sales anymore, they just pass them onto Rotary and they have out 1 children's table to 30 adult tables:(Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04448595911801738792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4553990294643991122.post-75054236993781495752009-10-23T18:38:02.557-04:002009-10-23T18:38:02.557-04:00I totally forgot to mention DVDs and CDs - had it ...I totally forgot to mention DVDs and CDs - had it on my list! We usually don't shop for them there, so it slipped my mind. I did get a neat DVD about learning Spanish there last time. I should look at the DVDs again next time now that our son is getting old enough to enjoy them.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07309501483266246859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4553990294643991122.post-71952404322503655442009-10-23T18:36:01.957-04:002009-10-23T18:36:01.957-04:00@ maryanne -- That sounds serious!

It's fabulous! I've bought magazines, books, and DVDs from there, and some of them I've used with our homeschool curriculum.
