Locally Owned over 50 Years

We have over 40,000 used books in every genre.  We stock non-fiction and fiction books. 

You bring in your used books for us to evaluate; and depending on condition and demand, we will give you store credit to use towards other books in the store.  

We allow drop off of books for trade or donations every business day.  However, we may not be able to process them on Saturdays.  If that is the case, we will get to them within 7 days and let you know the credit amount earned.

We do not stock textbooks.  We have limited space and our turn around cannot keep up with the changing school curriculums. 

The store credit is applied to most of the books in the store.  There are a few exceptions, like collectibles or vintage, that we do not allow store credit to be used towards those purchases.  Store credit cannot be used for sales tax Those sales are how we cover the expenses of keeping the store open.

We rely on the community to supply us with books.  People, can either donate them or trade them in for the store credit program.  Everyone wins by cleaning out their shelves every now and then. This is a perfect opportunity to support local businesses while keeping books out of our landfills.  

There are many ways to support our little bookstore.  You may donate books you no longer need or read, purchase books as gifts or gift cards, join us on social media and share our news and updates, tell your friends about us and our services, stop by and see the changes in the store, or just to say hello.  

We sure do!  Be sure to pick one up for that special occasion that you have coming up.

We would love to host your event, please contact us for the details!
