Check online and freecycle sites. A lot of people give them away.

If you want to drive to NJ, I have a ton I can get rid of.
Not worth it to ship them.

Probably not worth fixing. See if you have a Home Goods store in your area. They have cheap stuff.

How old are they? If they break, they usually arent worth repairing.

Looking for a new bookshelf here too. My college books ruined it.

Try garage sales too. I've found decent furniture.

Are they made of boards or particle board? A lot of particle board doesn't hold up well to weight, especially in damp environments. Have you considered reinforcing the shelves with plywood?
