We keep one shelf of books for sale. Hardback books are $1.00 and paperback books are $0.25. We do not have many book sales, although we have been known to drag a few to festivals or other events.
We keep two spinner racks of paper back books for trade. One spinner is filled with romance and the other with non-romance. Trade is one for one. All the books on the trade racks are mass market sized books, but we do not limit your trade-ins to that size. We check all trade-ins against library needs, so your trade-in might be placed on the library shelves for check out.
A good library is constantly weeding out books that are out-of-date or not checked out and replacing them with current and requested books. This keeps the library shelves looking fresh and inviting. We recycle the used books in a variety of ways. Community reading shelves are kept stocked, while other discards are placed on our For Sale shelf or go to Better World Books.
