Build your own Library!
The selection of gently pre-owned books is excellent, and many are in mint condition. There are books for everyone and they’re well-organized for easy browsing. Collectible Books are also available. The book sale depends on donations, and each one seems to get bigger and better than before.
Collectible Books
The Friends started offering collectibles in 2006 as a response to the number of donated books that seemed to have special value. Such books included out of print or first editions, author-signed volumes, and particularly beautiful or unique works. To make them easy for our customers to find, they are in a special section.
