Friends of the Selby Public Library Bookstore offers high quality gently read used books at amazingly low prices.  The store is staffed by dedicated and friendly volunteers.  Discover this hidden treasure inside the Selby Public Library at 1331 First Street, Downtown Sarasota. 

All BIBLIOPHILES can find thousands of jewels for the mind and soul from 25 cents and up.  Everyone will be dazzled by gems of hardcover and softcover books in all genres:  fiction, biographies, mysteries, travel, art, history, science, health, religion, gardening, self-help, cooking, children's, large print, text/reference, music, poetry, plays, classics, coffee table books, rare/collectible books, magazines, CDs, videos, records--and much more!  Interior designers can find sparkling accents for home libraries.  Book dealers are welcome!  Peruse our everyday specials!

Donate your used books.  Friends can arrange for a courier to pick up your cartons (large quantities) of books at no charge.  Call 861-1140 to arrange pickup.  Donations are tax deductible.  All proceeds benefit Selby Public Library, its programs--and the community.
