But, we have been gifted a ton of books - especially from friends of mine who work in children's publishing. We also buy used ones from garage sales. We love books! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-a-lot-of-books#post-1991536 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 10:26:51 +0000 Corduroy 1991536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We buy a lot at the thrift store for 50 cents. I wish we made it to the library more often but it doesn't work out well with our work schedules. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-a-lot-of-books#post-1991346 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 08:30:22 +0000 regberadaisy 1991346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy when there's a good sale or coupon on Amazon. Mostly I buy a lot lot from scholastic! Random stories for $1 and sets of popular books really cheap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-a-lot-of-books#post-1991305 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 07:55:01 +0000 Dandelion 1991305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the library, but I'll buy books when they're a good deal or at a thrift store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-a-lot-of-books#post-1991276 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 07:16:10 +0000 looch 1991276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't buy books that often anymore. We do go to the library, but my son doesn't quite understand the concept of borrowing the books and having to return them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-a-lot-of-books#post-1991229 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 03:19:29 +0000 lamariniere 1991229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before, we bought lots of books, always on sale or used. Now that we live in a country where we don't speak the local language, we rarely buy books except for through amazon a few times per year. We are going to DH's country tomorrow though, so I'm sure we will make at least one bookstore trip to add to our collection! I miss regularly browsing in bookstores though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-a-lot-of-books#post-1991039 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 22:59:50 +0000 autumnlove 1991039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy new, used and check out books at the library. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-a-lot-of-books#post-1991021 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 22:49:20 +0000 apis 1991021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We buy quite a lot of books, and LO goes to library time when he can, around his preschool hours where they have books too. Mostly, we buy his books new, but for DW and me, it's a mix of new and "gently used". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-a-lot-of-books#post-1990986 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 22:28:57 +0000 loveisstrange 1990986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to buy used. Goodwill and garage sales are great for it! Goodwill kids books are only .50 per book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-a-lot-of-books#post-1990948 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 22:08:26 +0000 pinkcupcake 1990948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go to used book sales at libraries. Great way to get books for cheap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-a-lot-of-books#post-1990939 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 22:01:05 +0000 jhd 1990939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go to the library, but also buy books.

If LO loves a book a lot, then I consider buying it usually used on amazon, half.com or better world books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-a-lot-of-books#post-1990881 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 21:34:52 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1990881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i buy large batches used off my parenting listserv for great prices. we also should go to the library more often! we do buy books on amazon as well more for charlie since he is into chapter books now while olive has tons of charlie's hand me down books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-a-lot-of-books#post-1988873 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 21:30:00 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1988873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your LO likes reading where do you buy books? Do you buy them new or used? Or do you go to the library and check out books instead? </p>
