The Book Nook is the library's brand name for used book stores operated by the FOTCL chapters at each branch. They are stocked by donations from the public, and all proceeds directly benefit the library. Book Nooks can range from a small section of shelves to an enclosed store at the front entrance of the library.

Storage for donations is limited. Please do not donate phonograph records, old encyclopedias, or magazines. We also ask that you kindly refrain from leaving donations when the library is closed.
