Second Saturday & Third Thursday

Used Book Sales

at our old & new Georgetown location

We are moving! Help us move by shopping our book sale on Saturday, May 11th. This will be the last day at 650 South Orcas Street Suite 118. We have enjoyed our two years at this location but we have outgrown the space. Special book pricing the day of the event.


We are moving within the Orcas Business Park to 5608 6th Avenue South, just one block west of our current location. Our soft opening will be Thursday, May 16th. Pardon our piles as we settle in to our new location and restock with new book donations. Donations will now be accepted every Thursday starting May 23rd.

Books are $2 children's, $3 paperbacks and $4 hard covers. Members can choose two free books during this event. Join/renew today!
