Sweet little bookstore with friendly, helpful staff. Feels good to know you're supporting the library. Great place to donate or buy books.

Amazing experience. Kind and personable. Nathan went way beyond what I would expect good service to be. He helped find me a "hard to find" book for a good price. Even if he didn't find the book, I would've left a 5 star review because he spent the time looking even though he wouldn't make a sale, and was genuinely happy to do it.

Always a great place to find some lost treasure or an inexpensive entry into a new author or series. During the pandemic, shopping is by appointment only but they have been doing a pop-up shop outside in front of the store on Saturdays providing the weather is good.

We follow social distancing guidelines by scheduling individual shopping appointments and limiting the amount of people in the building. Masks, sanitizer, or provided gloves are required of all patrons and volunteers upon entering the store. Quarantine and testing protocols are also in place for all staff in case of exposure or infection.

Is the Book Corner accepting donations at this time?

The Book Corner | Aug 17, 2021

Hi June, Yes, we are! Due to current Covid-19 restrictions, we are asking anyone with more the 30 items to schedule an appointment to donate. If you have 30 items or less, you can use the silver donation bin located next to our driveway at your convenience. It is available 24/7. Thanks so much for thinking of us, and please let us know if we can provide any further information! Carrie Operations Manager

Do you sell on consignment?

I think not... Since this is a volunteer run, support the library type of place, I think they only take and sell donations (and sell old library books).

Do you have in stock- Summer at the Comfort Food Cafe by Debbie Johnson? Thanks-

Sandy Pokorny | Aug 18, 2019

I don't think the volunteers check their Google entry. Give them a call! Sometimes it takes them a minute to search their shelves because they don't seem to have a digital inventory but for the price and the good cause your money goes to, it is worth it!

I am in search of used N A Basic Text books. Does anyone know where I can get any?

Sharon Rau | Aug 18, 2018
Judy Liggett | Aug 18, 2018

I don't know what in a basic text books are, but it is always worth a visit to the book corner as their books are so inexpensive and they have so many. However I would suggest that you call them first and ask them if they have those books. I don't know their number, but you can definitely get it either online or from the Beaverton Public Library. Good luck
