Trade in Policy

You can bring your old books into the shop and trade them for new books!


We accept books during our Normal Business hours
Monday – Saturday
10 am – 6 pm.
No appointment necessary.  Feel free to bring in as many books as you like.

We do not pay cash for books.

Instead, you can trade for Store Credit, or you can Donate your books.  

Please note: the more books you bring in, the more time it will take us to go through them.  The average wait time for a medium-sized drop-off is about 10 minutes in the winter months and 30 minutes in the summer months.
 

Store Credit

We offer Store Credit at the rate of ½ what we think we can sell the book for. 
This means that if we think we can sell a book for $4 you will get half of $4, which comes to $2. 

The time this will take depends on how many books you bring in and how busy we are at the time you arrive.

When you bring in your books, we will give you a rough estimate of how long we think it will take to process your books. 

If you are short on time, please tell us when you arrive, and we will discuss your options.

You can spend Store Credit on most of the books in the store.

The few exceptions we have will be marked with the word CASH, either on the sticker or on the back of the book by the barcode. 

Please note that we accept payments for "cash" books in the form of cash, check, or card*.
*There is a $1 outsourcing fee on all plastic transactions.

Donations

If you choose to donate, you are opting out of our Store Credit option while still dropping off books.

The value of the books you donate go towards supporting us, our local teachers, and local pensioners.

We do not offer credit or exchanges for book Donations.

We accept Donations at any time during our normal business hours.
