A word about Bookins -- I love this website. It has allowed me to feed my need to occasionally own a book or two, while also ensuring that I'm cleaning out the space to house said book. Generally speaking I hit the library, but there are books that I simply want to own. I either read them habitually or use them as reference or it's something I know the wee one will want to chew on. So it makes sense to me to use a service that makes it possible for me to get those books cheaply, used, and in decent condition. I also LOVE being able to send books out for others to put to good use. It has already cleared out at least one bookshelf for us. And provided for a number of holiday presents for much less than purchasing new.

If you know that you simply can't get your book needs met through the library, I highly recommend this website as an alternative to bookstores.
