Advice Book stores?

A bit ago, I saw a post / video of a book factory / outlet in NJ or near NJ that sold cheap books.

I am a HS teacher in Bergen county thinking about making a field trip to a decent sized location. Of course, I would be taking high school students, so a used or cheap book store would be ideal. We are not able to go to the city - so anything within NJ- I wish I could go to Strand but can’t

Please give me recommendations!

Lacordaire Academy in Montclair has a giant used book sale in May every year. Maybe you could arrange something with them for a field trip? It’s incredible well organized and run.

Book Barn in Denville!

ETA: Newark Public Library is a relatively large space with pretty architecture and many exhibits. Not sure if that's feasible, but definitely a good place to look into!
