Our BookShop's Success Story

The Friends' of the Library BookShop is an used bookstore located in the Corona Public Library. We are fully operated by volunteers and proceeds from our sales directly benefit library programs and projects. The BookShop generated over $100,000 last year alone.

Our BookShop is special and unique among library bookstores or any other used bookseller. We pride ourselves on our well organized, well stocked shelves with 64 categories and easily navigatable colorful signage. New inventory is put out every day. Our prices are amongst the lowest of any competive bookstores offering the same merchandise, often starting at 50¢ for paperbacks and $1.00 for hardcover editions. In addition to books, we also sell audio-visual materials, puzzles, games, sets of books, collectible books, Corona history items, Silent Auctions, and gift books.

We offer new book-related gift items such as t-shirts, book bags, mugs, and note cubes. It’s the perfect place to buy a gift for any reader or “book person”.

We have lots of sales – at least one, and usually three of our categories, are 50% off of the marked price at any given time. NEW! For early notification of BookShop sales, ask to be added to our email alerts, just send us your email address. Be sure to print one of our coupons for monthly discounts.
