work and pleasure reading at exceptionally low prices. It is staffed by volunteers and proceeds from the bookstores benefit the

including cooking, fiction, classics, reference, children’s and foreign language such as Chinese and Korean. We also have CDs,
DVDs, and audiobooks available as well. The selection changes constantly as new donations are received – so drop by often!
All our store merchandise is donated by the surrounding community.
