Always one to want to re-use and re-cycle, I’ve been taking my used books to my local branch where they have a small “book store” and sell most books for $1-3.  Yes, that’s right.  So in addition to the regular library stacks, many library ‘bookstores’   have plenty of current books, mostly paperback that can be yours to keep.  Check out your local library, you’ll be glad you did and so will your pocketbook.
