Bookstore
The Friends of the Petoskey Public Library organize and maintain a used Bookstore with used and rare books, as well as puzzles. 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.
