Great place to buy gently owned clean second-hand books. It's a clean, well organized well lit book outlet next to a branch of the Aurora library on Peoria in Iliff Square shopping center. The volunteers who work there are friendly and very helpful. Prices are low, and if you join their membership, you can get even lower prices on books, CDs, movies and more. Come check out this amazing place and purchase great books at very good prices.
What a wonderful community resource. Affordable books. Donations accepted. Friendly, helpful staff. Good selection. Thrilled to have found this.
They didn't know this, but they were holding onto a couple of vinyl records for me before my first visit. They tittered like old hens about my wild outfit until I gave them their biggest sale to date: 6 books + 2 records = $14.72. Lovely little nook.
I adore this place! The prices can be as low as 35 cents! My average books cost anywhere from 50cents to$2. And what better cause then your local library. If they don't have the exact book you want, tell the ladies and they can look out for it. We come here every week!
Wonderful place to come get books for cheap. I just stopped by today. I haven’t been here in a few years and it’s as great as a place as I remember. They even have new and relevant books! It’s much cheaper than the thrift store as well. So happy that this is a option to come get books! Customer service is always great as well.
Been here twice since I've been working in town. Going to miss this place when I leave. Wonderful place and very reasonable prices. Friendly staff as well!
Love this little gem!! A must for book lovers! Amazing prices and a sale every month.
Best book store I know. My kiddos love the books I was able to get. The staff are quite nice people
Must go!!! Used books for sale and used books drop off!! You can recycle your books here and give back to the community!! I love the idea of giving back!!! They are a non-profit organization and sell used books back into the community so that nothing is wasted! Great idea and more learned and more people get to read the wonderful books we have in the world!!! Books of all types!!
Find books at very reasonable prices, volunteers are exceptional at helping and so friendly. Membership fee for a year cannot be beat. I have been a member over 12 years and have never been dissatisfied with merchandise or staff. In addition, I love that I am supporting the Aurora Public library.
