Does anyone know of any libraries that have upcoming book sales, consignment shops (I already went to Once Upon a Child), or anywhere else that sell inexpensive/used books/toys/games etc in the Morris County area? I am a Kindergarten teacher and I'm hoping to get as many items as possible at a lower cost before buying new items. Thanks!
For toys & games (and more books), there are local Facebook groups, for example "Morris County New Jersey Buy & Sell", and "Swap/Sell/Shop - Essex/Union/Morris". There are always kids' toys on those pages. And I think there are local kid/baby-specific Buy/Sell/Swap Facebook pages as well.
You might also check out flea markets. As our son grew I worked many flea markets selling toys, books, etc. that he had outgrown. I met many teachers at these flea markets who were shopping for their classes.
I believe with Staples you can combine teacher rewards with a regular Staples rewards card. Not sure if you can combine B&N teacher discount with their regular discount card.
You can get some great scores at local garage sales too!
These days there are even many "garage sale pages" on facebook and such, you don't even need to leave your house!
While it is not in Morris County, I can tell you that the Princeton Public Library has a "sale section" that contains a wealth of wonderful, barely-used books selling for--usually--only a couple of dollars.
If you want a nice day away from your usual haunts, I suggest that you plan an outing to Princeton, where you can avail yourself of some incredible bargains at the public library (the "sale section" is located just to the left of the entry doors), and you can also enjoy the nearby (free!) Princeton University Art Museum.

Also, stop in to the Firestone Library on the Princeton campus & see the Cotsen children's library. You'll see adults walking around in wonder also. Cotsen Children's Library
Directly to the left of it is an exhibit space where they have some interesting exhibits (I think it changes twice per year.)
In the Spring come down to the West Windsor branch of the Mercer County Library when they have their book sale. On the last day you can fill an entire bag with books for $4.
