Gosh, our family used to love Trinity thrift store and writing this review makes me incredibly sad…read more Trinity Thrift Store advertises each Wednesday evening what new things are available each week on their Facebook page. We are a family of 6 and, in the past, we have found so many needed, useful things for our home at a great price. We also love that our purchases help support the Shepherdstown community. My husband has always gone every Thursday morning, waits outside for opening, and buys items based on what is shown on the Facebook site (and always finds more on top of that!). He also had volunteered to help around the shop when needed and asked by volunteers. He even removed the plastic partition when asked by a volunteer for help. Unfortunately, the past few weeks he has waited outside only to find many of the items that we have been hoping to purchase have been taken by volunteers who enter the building early to make their selections before the patrons. While we certainly appreciate the volunteers and their efforts, it is frustrating to do everything we can to try to purchase an item that was advertised on Facebook only to find that we have no opportunity because the volunteers got to the items first. I can certainly understand there being rewards for volunteering, but it's also an incredibly disappointing experience when the items advertised aren't actually available to patrons upon opening the next day. Last week, there were just 2 items advertised on Facebook that we were hoping to purchase. My husband and I decided to get a babysitter for our 4 homeschooled children so we could have a rare, thrifting date day. We arrived at Trinity 30 minutes early and were the first in line (other patrons also wait outside early on Thursday mornings). When the door opened, I immediately went to find the items. Upon asking the volunteer where they could have disappeared to, she informed me that again, she had entered the building early and decided that she was taking the items. What a disappointment and, for the first time since we found this little shop, we left without purchasing anything. We were a little frustrated but, not wanting to make it an issue, we left without another word. We later found out this volunteer reported us for asking about said items. It's incredibly sad that a such a sweet little shop treats its regular customers that way. We are still hopeful that one day, Trinity Thrift Shop will decide to change their policies (or even post their policies so It would be SO great if maybe their volunteers could decide what items they would like to purchase prior to advertising those same items to their patrons.

One of two Little Free Libraries in Shepherdstown, this one is in front of a home or it could be an…read moreapartment building. The gray box with white trim and shingle roof is in excellent condition. Two doors open to reveal two shelves. Inside, a good collection of hardcovers and softcovers with quite a variety. Thrillers, fiction and even a book on German grammar. It was The Onion book that caught my eye and will make the journey with me today. This is charter number 56099 and there is no caption or steward's name indicated on the website. There is parking in front of the box. [Review 15612 overall - 64 in West Virginia - 1116 of 2021.]

Inside, a great selection of paperbacks and hardcovers in an assortment of genres. I don't know that I've ever read Tom Clancy's Cardinal of the Kremlin so that came with me today. What's super about this library is that they have a hook for your dog leash as well as two small tubs of doggie treats. How awesome is that! This is charter 69300 and the steward is Gayle Bach-Watson. The online caption reads, "Our Little Free Library is an outreach ministry to the community around us. It contains books for all ages, as well as treats for our four-footed best friends, and there is a leash hook so you can hook your dog's leash while you brows the books. We invite all to check out our new library, which was dedicated December 17th, 2017. "Life is sweeter when we journey together."
