Apparently a number of underage readers, who clearly have not learned and
practised safe reading, leave a lot of their unwanted books, swaddled in
old backpacks, on Bookshare's doorsteps during the night. Gustavo
rescues the pityful little things as he opens the door for business in the
morning.
There should be laws against wreckless book abandonment!

Kasondra,
Where do books that we scan in-house come from? The answer is everywhere.
We go to library booksales. We accept boxes of donated books from people
in the area. We trade duplicates of books we already have with local used
bookstores. For high-interest new books, we have some money set aside to
purchase them.
Regards,
gustavo

Hi,
Maybe Carrie or someone else can answer this question. Where does the
main office get the books that are scanned there? Do you only scan new
books that are just coming out, or do you also scan books that have been
out awhile? I just wondered after looking at Carrieâs recent lists of
submitted books. Carrie, I hope you have a great time in Europe!
