This book sale is amazing! Mostly a charity for decent knowledge sharing. The prices are criminally low while the quality of some books are surprisingly great. Love it so much ❤️

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I have a box of Cars and Parts magazine from the 1990s. Can they be donated? They are in good shape.

I'll ask the category sorter if he wants them and get back to you. Sarah Hatcher Assistant Coordinator The Category Sorter felt the magazines were too old to sell here so please recycle them. Thanks for asking. Sarah Hatcher

My friend is cleaning our her Father's house. They have about three sets of Encyclopedias from I'm thinking the 70s or before. Do you accept these?

What are the Covid safety practices like here?

A limited number of people are allowed in at one time; everyone must wear a face mask; social distancing is required; there is hand sanitizer available; shoppers handle their items themselves; there is plastic separating the shoppers from the volunteers accepting payment.

What precautions are you taking for social distancing? Are there times that are less crowded than others?

When I was there, they had all the doors open for circulation (it was brisk inside). They do limit the number of customers as well, but I do not know the occupancy percentage or total number. I go on Monday afternoons, and the crowd is usually smaller. I hope this helps.
