Interesting perspective! I appreciate the insights shared in this article.

A very good article,l have been buying books at the op shop for $2 and they are in great condition! So good!

I don’t seem to use many actual books (most of what I need is online) but when I do need a book I get it from book depository

I have been buying books at full price, it got to the point when I couldn’t stop reading books, I’m having to change elsewhere to find books, went to savers today and got books for $3.99 each. the markets I have got books from $5 to $8. library have been a saver for my pocket. my son finds the library boring, this morning I had to explain to him, a library isn’t supposed to be fun with a café and a playground, it wouldn’t be a quiet relaxing library. because of my son’s learning ability, he dislikes books….we will get there some stage soon but apart from that, I said to him looking for a book is an excitement, you want to look forward going home in your own comfort and start reading a book….im loving country romance books! wish I was living in the outback!

I love reading and I use the local library a lot indeed!!

I like reading! Really good knowledge to know! Thanks for sharing this!

Go to Vinnies.
2nd hand books for $2!!

i will swap books with friends so that we all get to have a good read

Libraries are good for the holidays too! I have bags full of DVD’s, books and CD’s from the library. Inside fun time; when it gets to hot outside.

Thanks for sharing this informative article. I absolutely love libraries; such fantastic places which are full of wonderful books, DVD’s, CD’s and other resources. I love searching the library catalogue and ordering books and other resources.

thanks for sharing your helpful ideas.

Love our local library, always there!

We have a library which people can donate books to that everybody can read if they wish to.
At a later date some that are of no interest to others are collected and given to a charity, not always the same one.

also check if your library has ebooks. so convenient and easy to use!

Ive only just started to read so these places will be good for me to have a look at thank you

We are at the library weekly now with 2 young kids, it is the best thing the council do. Thanks

I love looking through to books at my local thrift shop

I often find a good book at my local charity shop.

Already using most of these. Highly recommend.

As book collectors and avid readers we lend a lot of our support (and get bargains for us) to the Lifeline Bookfairs / Booksfests. Can’t remember the last time we paid full price for a book. So many of the books are brand new as they are not only donated from the public but from businesses or bought new, once read they’re donated. I tend to go for the vintage and antique books myself, new or near new for our daughter and hubby has come away with so many new or near new novels at such low prices.

Another worthwhile book fair are the ones run by Rotary.

Here is a picture of some of the books from our last book haul, we came home with over 200 books from the Canberra Lifeline Bookfair.

  Usually the only new books I get these days are the ones I win 😉
