How do I Purchase Bulk Children's Books to Donate to Charity?
Books are important components to many charities' work around the world. For instance, one for-profit book store in New England, Got Books?, sells deeply discounted used books to many charities, and it contributes to programs that send books to troops overseas and to restock libraries in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Purchasing books in bulk to donate to these charities helps keep your costs down and helps you do more with your money. The keys are to get creative in where to find these books and to ask for discounts.
