Hi Cindy, There are several used bookstores in the area (one is across the street and 100 ft down from the office called Know Knew Books - neat name) that we trade books with. We give them duplicates, they give us credit which we use to buy books that we need. We will donate books to the Palo Alto library, and they'll give some of their extra books to us. Everyone scratches each other's backs...
