Scarce offers a variety of resources to help you teach and decorate your classes. My students benefit from art supplies, pencils pens, novel sets, etc. I find tons of resources to scaffold learning and enhance my lessons! I highly recommend Scarce to everyone! If you're not a teacher, but you enjoy a great deal, I'm sure you will find something interesting on the other side of the store. Books, art supplies, cds, movies, and more.

Love Scarce! My last trip I left with 2 boxes full of teacher materials, including books for my classroom library, and only spent $10! A true honey hole for teachers!

Absolutely love this place. I had the pleasure of interviewing the founder on my cable community television show Y? Why Not! Kay's dedication to recycling, helping teachers, and focusing on ways to save the Earth is outstanding. This is an absolute place to go for teachers looking for discounted supplies and for music lovers. They have a section for albums and cds if anyone is a collector.

If you're a teacher looking to add to your classroom library, then you want to visit 'Scarce'. Walk with your teacher ID, and set up an account when you walk in at the front desk. You'll get a box. If you fill it to the top, at checkout, you'll pay $10. If you only fill it half way, the cost is $5. Don't walk with children under 18 years old because they will have to wait in the waiting area as they are not allowed inside the book area. Go get your classroom library stacked at 'Scarce' with textbooks and novels, among other things.

Like a big garage sale for teachers…pay by the box for new and used classroom items. I picked up a bunch of binders, folders, markers, crayons, colored pencils and math manipulatives. What an awesome service that reduces waste and allows teachers and schools to stretch their budgets. Staff is also helpful!

Very cool space to recycle things like Christmas lights or crayons that I wouldn’t normally know what to do with. Amazing amount of CDs, vinyls, and books, and it feels good to spend my money at a place that helps teachers so much

This is an amazing place if you love books & music. This organization helps support teachers and ultimately students and could use your help to complete that mission. They also have some Office supplies, DVDs both Movies and TV, childrens books, musical instruments. Aisles and aisles of books and Vinyl records - even antique books and 1st editions. Looking for something rare or unusual, they might have it and so worth the adventure - like spending an hour or so in an old bookstore or old fashioned record store. Prices are unbelievable! A must for music and book lovers.
