We’d all love to have hundreds of books gracing our bookshelves, but that takes a lot of time, effort, and money. If you’re looking for a way to expand your own collection, but can’t afford to spend a lot on it, you can still do it by following these three steps.

Little Free Library

Little Free Library project promotes reading by encouraging neighborhood book exchanges. Check if your city is home to any book exchange boxes and go exploring. You can take any of the books for free, but it’s best to leave one of yours in its place.

Thrift Stores

Even when you’re buying books, it’s not necessary to go for brand-new ones. Carefully go through book sections at your local thrift store, and we’re sure you’ll find a bunch of amazing copies at a reasonable price.

Perfect Present

Don’t tell your friends and family you don’t want anything for your birthday, since they’ll be getting you something anyway. Chances are they won’t be able to perfectly guess your taste, so tell them exactly which book you want once the time comes.
