In May, Scholastic Book Distributors have their Customer Appreciation Warehouse Sales for educators, librarians, homeschoolers, and school volunteers at Scholastic warehouses all over the country (US). The books are the leftovers from the book fairs that they do in schools and libraries all year, and here in Houston the prices and the selection are pretty good. I’ve gone and spent money and come home with new books for the homeschool library.
Also, for those of you in the Houston (TX) area, the Friends of the Houston Library book sale is this coming weekend, April 20, 21, and 22 at the George R. Brown Convention Center. I hope to be there, but I have a full weekend and may have to sandwich in only a few hours browsing through the thousands of books at the sale. Go here for more information.

I was interested but it is open to *registered* homeschoolers, only. My son is only 3 so we haven’t registered yet (or decided on the future).
I don’t really know what “registered” means. We’re not registered anywhere, and I’ve been admitted to the book sale here in Houston sevearl times. I just say that I’m a homeschooler.
Maybe it’s different in different states or at different warehouses.
“Registered” simply refers to registering on the Scholastic site. It has nothing to do with your official homeschooling status. 🙂

Thanks for the reminder, Sherry!
