Post subject: Where to find children's books

Any suggestions on how to keep up the supplies for a school-aged book worm? The SH Public Library has Egnlish books for adults only. Do people buy from Amazon.com and ship to SH or are there private children's book clubs where kids get to exchange/share their collections? Thanks for ideas/suggestions.

Fukuzen Second Hand Shop in Vanke Plaza (Gubei) has a small range of English books - both adult and children - at reasonable prices.

Does your child attend an international school? A good number have excellent collections.

Otherwise just network with other parents I guess

Thanks nicklar. I will check out the book shop you mentioned. The int'l school he will go to has a small library. Will find out later how many collections they have. But usu the little one couldn't find enough interesting books from the school library alone and we have to make several trips a week to the local public library (in the US).
