Children’s Book Week 2010

Posted by Dana on 05.11.2010 at 11:11 am

For almost a century, Children’s Book Week has been celebrated nationally in schools, libraries, bookstores, clubs, private homes — and of course online.  Well, the online part is a little more recent… but you get the idea!

This year Better World Books is making it easy for you to put books in the hands of the kids you love while helping put books in the hands of kids who need them!

Check our 5 for 10 sale – where you can get 5 used kids books for $10 bucks!

And every purchase at BetterWorldBooks.com helps fund literacy projects for kids around the world including the donation of kids’ books by the truckload to families in need.

I couldn’t have lived without books when I was a kid (or now for that matter).   My favorite when I was little was Go, Dog. Go!.  Then later I really loved The Secret Garden.  My copy was well worn, I can tell you that!

What were your favorites when you were little?

Happy Earth Day!

Being the savvy shopper that you are, I’m sure you already know all about our fabulous Earth Day Sale where you can get 20% off 3 or more used books*.  And I’m sure you already have a shopping cart full of fabulous previously loved books ready to go in your cart.

But did you know that tons of once wept over, laughed with, and well loved books don’t get that second chance.  It’s true.  Sad but true.  Check out the facts.

In honor of Earth Day take Dana’s Official Better World Books’ Blog Pledge.

Repeat after me:

“I, State Your Name, will never throw a book away.  I will donate it or sell it to Better World Books, give it to a friend or make gosh-jolly-darn sure it gets recycled”.

Good for you.  Way to go!  Now go outside and enjoy Earth Day and spread the word:  No more books in landfills!

*Offer not valid on Marketplace purchases.
