Many avid readers still like holding a real book with printed pages in their hand and reading. In this piece we focus on a few interesting and simple ways to acquire a few free books to add to your personal reading library.
Ask friends and family if they have a few books stored away that they no longer want. The odds are in your favor that they own a few boxes of old paperbacks or hard cover books they would gladly give to you.
Libraries in some regions across the country donate tons of books to local charities, but they also keep badly damaged books for disposal because they are too damaged for donations. So, if you don't care if the book is missing a page or more, or has scribbles, this might be a good idea for you. Inquire at your local library about those books.
Get together with a few friends who enjoy reading books and start your own book exchange. Each member throws the same number of books into a box and members sort them out and take the one's that interest them. This could happen on a rotating basis every month.
Search for websites on the Internet that allow the members of the site to swap books with each other. Try websites on the Internet like paperbackswap or bookmooch.
Wait until the end of the day and browse around the flea markets in your area. Search for book sellers who are still stuck with used books that did not sell. Sometimes the seller doesn't want to cart the books back home and is is so anxious to dispose of the books that they give them away for free.
