We eat, breathe and sleep recycling. We do it all day, every day. Even at home we collect items to bring into the store for trade. We know recycling like the back of our hand but we can’t recycle everything. We’ve collected leftover children's books with the bent covers, ripped pages or coloring on the inside and turned them into something spectacular! Since March was our annual Arts and Crafts month, we decided to get the entire family involved at Bookmans Phoenix in helping us rip the pages of these forgotten books and turn them into wallets!

One of our favorite children's book authors, Erin Saelens, creator of Bot Tots, has a great new YouTube video out of her book Cog Corner Goes Green! Join the Botbergs and the O’Gearys on their first adventure of many as they rally their Tiny Bot friends to join a recycling crew. Can Tiny Bots motivate Big Bots to go green? Will Cog Corner ever be sparkling clean? Check out the video:

Music hour is so much fun--every last Tuesday of the month we gather all our recyclable stuff meet in the kids corner and make instruments! Beans, toilet & paper towel rolls, coffee cans, yogurt containers, rice and plastic bottles are just a few of the recyclable things we use to make our instruments. Put beans in a balloon, then blow it up, and it makes a great thunder sound! Check out the good times that were had making recycled instruments on Flickr!

At Bookmans, we understand how important it is to take care of our planet by recycling. We recycle merchandise every hour, of every day over our trade counters and know that every bit of product we tuck away on our bright orange shelves may be that much more waste NOT in a landfill. We live and breathe by the saying “one man's trash is another man's treasure” because every single day you can hear the ooo’s and ahhh’s of our customers as they find a book, record, video game or DVD that they had previously thought was harder to find than a unicorn or two-headed dragon.
