We use Better Containers. There website is www.librarybags.com phone number is #800-831-6049. They are still not cheap about 23 cents per bag if you buy in a case of 500 (Case $116.00) if you buy the “class themes,” but a little cheaper I think than the Demco drawstring bags and they do last longer and hold up better than the drawstrings.

We have thought about getting some of the white plastic bags that say "thank you, have a nice day" on them, but I'm not sure how sturdy they are for books. The plastic draw string bags from Demco are expensive and we go through them so fast. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would like something nicer than used Walmart bags, which we are currently using. Thanks!
