Yesterday afternoon, I made a visit to Carpinteria's Friends of the Public Library Used Bookstore. I purchased two novels, Tripwire by Lee Child and Worth Dying For also by Lee Child, for my maternal grandmother, who is a fan of Lee Child's novels. Both novels are in good condition and were a dollar each!! Attached are photographs of the Carpinteria's Friends of the Public Library Used Bookstore's exterior and my purchases for the day!
Items for sale at Carpinteria's Friends of the Public Library Used Bookstore are donated by the public at large and proceeds support the public library. I've even donated plenty of my own books, compact discs, dvds & vhs tapes to this location over the years as I want to do my part in supporting the public library system by both donating and purchasing items for sale.
This used bookstore is run by a friendly staff of volunteers. They do a fantastic job of shelving all newly donated items in an organized fashion by grouping books by genre and keeping existing books shelved in an orderly fashion. Most books for sale are priced as follows: $2 for hardbacks and $1 for paperbacks.
Carpinteria's Friends of the Public Library Used Bookstore is easy to find and conveniently located next to the Carpinteria Public Library at 5103 Carpinteria Avenue, Carpinteria, California 93013 and their phone number is 805 566-0033. You'll find ample, free parking in the lot adjacent to the Friends of the Public Library Used Bookstore. The bookstore itself is very light, bright and clean. There is a large, clean restroom, should you need to use it during your visit.
I would also like to mention that Carpinteria's Friends of the Public Library Used Bookstore has a monthly book sale! The date of the next book sale will be this upcoming Saturday, January 7th from 9:00am to 2:30pm! For more information call 805.566.0033. Book sales are held on a monthly basis. Please donate to your local library and shop at your local Friends of the Public Library Used Bookstore!
