Purchasing Half Price Books' New Tote Bags Benefits KIB!

Now when you shop at a Half Price Books store, you can purchase a reusable tote bag for $0.98. And what is even BETTER is that $0.10 of every tote bag purchase will go to KIB! Half Price Books will be providing KIB with a check on Earth Day 2009 to celebrate all of the shoppers who made the switch.

So, think about getting your best friend a little something from Half Price Books this year, and get a tote bag while you are at it! Learn more about Half Price Books and their environmental ethic by clicking on the tote bag.
