[ISLMA-Share] Used Books Sale

[Gina Snow]

We are doing the same with weeded books as everyone above.  One thing I am
trying is adding old sets of books to classroom libraries.  Also I am
covering the bar codes and spine labels with colorful duct tape.  We have a
"deleted" stamp to add as well.  Our prices will be as above .50 for all.
