Set-up like a Library. Books, videos, vintage books... Most hard cover books $2.00

What a lovely used bookstore! Most paperback books are a dollar and most hardcovers are 2 dollars. They also have a section of books for 50 cents. I went in and got 10 books for ~20 dollars. It seems like their inventory changes daily so every time you go in you’ll find something new!

One of my favorite places in Austin! We give away books for Halloween, and at 50¢ each for kid and YA books including hardcovers, this is the perfect place to get them! Great variety and affordable for teachers building classroom libraries and for any book nerd. It's the best!

I personally haven't and don't know if Recycled Reads does either...R.R.is operated by the City of Austin,so they could answer the question.

When can I drop off books

Meredith Entin | Oct 16, 2019
Angela Hartman | Oct 16, 2019

Check their hours on the web site. If you don't have a really large donation, you can usually drop off during regular hours. There is a door around the back of the building. Ring the bell and someone will take your donations.
