All of the public libraries in our area have used bookstores where people donate old books, videos, magazines, etc. My dd and I happened to be near the main branch which has a huge used bookstore, so I decided to stop in a have a look. My dd is a huge fan of the Sweet Valley Twins series, but there aren't a lot of the books available to be checked out in the library. Well, we hit the jackpot yesterday at the used bookstore! There were a TON of Sweet Valley twins books there marked .25 to .50. We walked out with a sackful of 21 books for $6.25! My dd can't wait to start reading here new-to-her books!

Aww, I loved Sweet Valley Twins and Sweet Valley High. Our library has a used book store, too. When I go without kids I'm always searching through the shelves in there!

I've found quite a few Sweet Valley Twins books as well at the library bookstore. I've also seen a lot at Goodwill.
