    Need books for My Company

    Hey, any idea where I can get books to beef up my company library?? My team has been complaining that there is not enough reading material … though I am not looking to buy them ( tight wallets right now) , keen on finding someone who can let us use their library … if you have any information please do help.

    Hey, I think you should try http://www.librarywala.com , they have a good corporate membership plan , I used it for my office , and the employees working for me are delighted , just rented out ‘Managing India’ and its passing around in the office , before we send it back to the library… it’s a great concept as I would rather have my team reading good books than playing counter strike !!

    Another suggestion is to call or visit the physical location of your local library. Tell them what you are in need of. At least once, sometimes twice a year, our libraries "clean house" and get rid of hundreds of books, journals, reference materials, magazines, videos and more. They usually put the books on sale to raise money for the branch. The sale prices are ridiculously low, like a dollar or $0.25 per book.

    Tell them to put you on the list and they will give you first notice. Make sure you back to the library on the last day of the fundraiser. What is left over sometimes gets given to a good home for free. I have come away with some wonderful finds. Just an idea.

    Also, you can download your own free eBooks and populate your library with material that is hand picked for your line of work. That way, the only expense you will incur is that of paper and binding material. Links below.

    Good luck, and please keep up posted on your finds.
