We are currently running a "used book sale" with the books weeded from the
collection.  The students receive coupons for good behavior or going above
and beyond at our school so we allow them the option of purchasing with
cash or the coupons.  The going rate is 50 cents for paperbacks, one dollar
for hard cover and two dollars for sets, no matter the size of the set.  We
are having great success with the students taking books home and I am
hoping that helps with the summer slide in reading!
