Freebies at Grassroots Books.
Tons (literally) of free books following warehouse sales.
At the conclusion of each warehouse sale, district employees are invited to select from the leftover books.
Bring a pickup, or plan to fill your trunk and back seats. We usually have more than 5,000 books left for donation.
Educators Day
To combat budgetary challenges, Grassroots Books is increasing opportunities for teachers and school staff to obtain complimentary used, unstickered books. The 22nd of every month is “Educators Day.” To select a free, Wallet-Friendly priced book, bring your school ID.
Free books for students and parents
Every month, Grassroots Books passes out thousands of Free Book Cards. You are invited to pick up enough to supply all kids/siblings/parents at your school. Limit one per person/per calendar year. No purchase necessary to select a Wallet-Friendly priced unstickered book from any genre.
