I agree with the library!! It is super nice to also get ebooks on my kindle for free from the library.
Either library, share shop (like a thrift store) or the spca in my town has a book store as well. Share shop in my town sells all books for about 10 cents each and the spca sells them for $1.

If you have a half price books keep an eye out for their clearance sale. Pittsburgh has a massive one fills the convention center with books everything $2 or less. Mass market paper backs are $.50. It’s a great chance to stock up. I know other areas have their own annual sales.
I get most of mine at the thrift store or at library clearance events. Some libraries also have used book stores.
Book outlet is actually great for cheap books. They have new books, current books and super discounted prices! They have a few stores and a great website that also has a rewards program

2nd and Charles (store) if you have one near you. They have mostly second hand books in good condition. Also you can take them any books you don’t want anymore. If they want any of them to sell they’ll give you what they value them at. They’ll then give you that balance in cash or as a store credit.

Little Free Library
The free Library which is 3 blocks from my house, I was taking books to it, and someone had ripped the door off and shoved all these books crazy in there. So, I took out all the books, lined them all up and made it look presentable again, people are just monsters. They are like the people who fold down the corner of the page to keep their place.
@Julie, there are several in my town, and they were all Eagle Scout projects, so they are well-maintained. Each one is located at a school (elementary, middle and high school), so when I am giving a book, I have to decide if it’s appropriate for the location, lol. When in doubt, I donate it to the thrift store. I don’t want to be That Person ?
Well, when I went through the books, I put them each a section I thought was appropriate, children’s, young adults, adults.
@Julie Thank you for taking the time and care to make it inviting to others. Little Free Libraries are the best!
I know, they are great, I went to a library sale and bought all these books when I was much younger, loved reading them and put them in the little libraries, the next week they were all gone.
local library
Library or Goodwill
Book Outlet..addicting though
I can agree to that.
@Flo ?
Books you can hold, or e-books?
@CJ books you can hold
Ah – if it was e-books, I could have helped you out – there’s heaps for free of those.
Library! Specifically, I love Overdrive for e books. For books you can hold, half Price Books or Amazon.
I loved Overdrive. My library uses it but promotes Libby more now.

Half priced books, the friends of the library bookstore or the library when I’m on an extra tight budget.
Bookoutlet. Up to 90% off. The books are new but remaindered. Right now the cheapest “Scratch & Dent” (creased corners/shelf wear etc) are an additional 30% off until 1/25. Free shipping for orders $35 or more.
If I am rounding out an order I add a few middle grade books for $1-3 each to put in a Little Free Library.
Thrift books online. Free shipping over $10.
Ten dollars?! What?! That is great!
@Flo the books are usually $3.75 and it gets me in a lot of trouble, but I have found many books that I was looking for. I also have 2 used book stores where I live.
Online Abebooks. I often get books for 3.50 and no shipping
Amazon Used Books
Kindle Unlimited
The library. If you want to own, some have sections where they sell books throughout the year. Online I like Book Outlet. I’ve purchased second hand from the Amazon and Barnes and Noble marketplaces. I read the reviews and only order from top rated sellers. When the weather gets warmer, tag sales and again the libraries. My local libraries will do a huge fundraiser. Hope this helps!
