If you love reading books... actual physical books you can hold in your hot little hands and don't…read moremind expanding your home library with previously owned books. Then check out the Friends of the Library Bookstore. It's located inside the Folsom Public Library building. They sell all sorts of categories. Children, cookbooks, young adults, sci fi, mystery, and nonfiction. Plus CD, DVDs, and audio books. Prices range from free ( aha... giving it away with nothing asked in return kind of free), a quarter to $3. When they have the monthly pop up sales, recently decommissioned library books are 10 for $1. Yes... I did a double take too. 10 books for $1!! The proceeds goes back into the library programs. For up to date store hours and info on the monthly pop up sale, check out the website.

Last month my fiancé, my 5 year old and I decided to stop by their store after visiting the library…read moresince we were in need of both Mother's Day and Birthday Cards and they're conveniently located right down the hall after all! I purchased 8 beautiful cards the sweet volunteer mentioned were all handmade by locals for $3.00 each! The receipt wouldn't print, but I didn't need one! My 5 year old received the Amazing Animals book from their Free Books basket(1 book per child) she recommended as well! I would definitely recommend paying a visit to this non-profit organization that opened it's doors in the year 1990, all run by volunteers, all items generously donated and all staff volunteers! Each sale of course goes towards the library, they accept donations for gently used books, DVDS, CDs and audio books as well! In fact we'll be stopping by this morning to donate some children's books and purchase some Handmade Father's Day cards as well to help support our favorite library! :-)

This used to be a great store when Don was the owner. Don…read moreis gone, but his wife Renee is now running the shop. Now it is terrible. We used to buy childrens books here almost weekly, their selection is decent while extremely unorganized. (Don't trip on the piles of books). Don was great, as he was always friendly and helpful, and it was clear he had a deep passion and love for books. We would bring in trade books as our kids grew up and outgrew their books, and they would discount any new purchases based on how much trade credit we had with them. The books were always priced well and reasonably, and while disorganized, it was the closest bookstore we had. it was always fun to look for treasures, and chat a bit with Don. Things went completely downhill when his wife took over the business. She got rid of the friendly cashiers and replaced them with what appears to be her friends, who know next to nothing about books, and are constantly in bad moods or throw attitude. Last week we were in line and the grey haired lady rand up a guy in front of us, saying nothing, then mockingly said something along the lines of "This is where you give me the credit card so that you pay", without saying anything else to him. No idea why she was so mad as a quiet customer who was confused by herr terrible attitude. We wanted to leave immediately, but we had two books to buy, so we had to deal with the aftermath. Then when we were checked out, she grumpily told us the price without looking at us. What on earth is happening here now. When we got home, we saw that the books were priced 1 or 2 dollars more than the new price, so even with our discount, we were practically paying new prices for books in fairly poor condition. We will be going elsewhere in the future. We just wish a decent bookstore would open in our area so we don't have to drive to Half Price. Maybe when his wife gives up, it will prompt someone else to open a shop who actually cares.

It was so easy to drop off & receive credit for our books! Credit received is more than fair &…read morebooks in store are priced well with a HUGE variety to choose from.
