***  NOTICE  ***
We will no longer be selling audio books once our
current stock is sold out.


Over the New Year’s weekend, we completed inventory and reorganized
the bookstore. Some sections have moved, so please ask
if you need help locating your favorites.

Books are available in the hallway even when the bookstore is closed. Please feel free to shop and place your payment in the box
located on the bookcase shelf—we trust you!


​Nestled in the heart of Sun City is more than just a used bookstore—it’s a gateway to supporting your local library. Operated entirely by dedicated volunteers, this charming shop funds vital library programs, events, and resources. Explore shelves brimming with pre-loved books, discover
hidden gems, and give stories a second home, all while giving back.
​
​It’s also a wonderful place to volunteer, meet fellow book lovers, and make a meaningful impact. Stop by today and turn your love for reading into support for a great cause!​
