Bookstore

The Friends of the Petoskey Public Library organize and maintain the only used Bookstore in town. The Bookstore is open during regular library hours and is located on the lower level of the Library.

The success of the Bookstore depends on the generous donations of quality used books from the public. Every year the Friends receive thousands of gently used titles to stock the Bookstore. Before adding books to the store, the Friends vet all donations.

Donation guidelines

  1. Funds from the sale of donations go to help support services at the Library.
  2. Donations are accepted at the main desk anytime the Library is open.
  3. Please bring donations inside; do not leave them at the door or in a book drop.
  4. We do not pick up materials.
  5. Donations become the property of the Friends of the Library and cannot be returned.

Items accepted

  • Books that are new, or like new (within the last 15 years)
  • Hardcover or paperback
  • Fiction and non-fiction
  • Published within the last fifteen years
  • Jigsaw puzzles (no missing pieces)

Items not accepted

  • Books in poor condition (pages missing, mildewed, stained, worn, etc…)
  • Health-related books older than five years
  • Dictionaries, thesauruses, encyclopedias, or textbooks
  • Condensed Books
  • Time-Life Books
  • Magazines, manuals, journals
  • CDs or DVDs

Puzzle exchange

  1. Bring your gently used jigsaw puzzle with pieces secured in a Ziplock bag inside the original box. Puzzles should be 500 pieces or more with no missing pieces.
  2. Swap it for another in the exchange by leaving your puzzle on the puzzle table.
  3. You may swap up to three puzzles at a time.
