    I would recommend donating books to organizations such as Goodwill or a local public library rather than selling them here. As a for-profit company, the compensation offered for used books is often minimal—typically just cents on the dollar. Donating elsewhere can be a more satisfying option and supports community-focused organizations.

    I love this location! The staff is friendly and helpful, there’s a convenient parking lot, and they’re dog and kid friendly. My favorite place to browse is the large fiction section downstairs and they’ve always got something interesting in the sci-fi/fantasy shelves. I look forward to many more visits!
