Better World Books Celebrates Children's Book Week

Girls Just Reading recently discovered an online bookseller called BetterWorldBooks.com. We are so excited about this discovery that we wanted to share it with you! Not only can you find great deals on new and used books, but you are also helping promote literacy around the world ~ and they're having a great sale in honor of Children's Book Week (more on that later)!

Their tagline is:

Better World Books collects and sells books online to fund literacy initiatives worldwide. With more than six million new and used titles in stock, we’re a self-sustaining, triple-bottom-line company that creates social, economic and environmental value for all our stakeholders.

Better World Books collect new and used books and textbooks and sell them to consumers at a discount with free shipping to any location within the United States (or $3.97 worldwide). So far, the company has converted more than 35 million donated books into $7.5 million in funding for literacy and education. In the process, they’ve also diverted more than 13,000 tons of books from landfills. What a great concept!

BetterWorldBooks.com is celebrating Children's Book Week with a major sale on kids' books. Beginning Monday, May 10th, through Sunday, May 16th not only can you purchase 5 kids books for $10, but for every children's book bought, Better World Books are donating one children's book to kids in need.

So go ahead, fill a child's bookshelf without overstretching your wallet, and know that in doing so, somewhere a child in need will receive a book or two because of it!
