As the blog world knows, I love books a lot.
But strangely enough, I’ve never been thrifting for books. So, this past weekend, my friend and I decided to visit as many thrift bookstores in our area as possible. Of course, I had to share my findings to the blog community, so here are the four bookstores that are definitely worth visiting!
The Germantown Library has a small section towards the entrance where they sell donated books. I’ve been to the library several times and completely missed the sections until my friend told me it was there. So although some of you may already know about this, I had to share it.
Wonder Books is a small store that has a large selection of used books, DVDs, vinyls, and CDs. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of books I found in this store, including the many classics that easily turn into prized possessions! This was the one book store where I was able to find a lot of newer releases from popular artists.
Second Story is a large warehouse that has been around for a while now, selling used and rare books. This one was definitely my favorite out of the four that I went to just because of the prices. A lot of books found in Second Story run for about a dollar, and my friend was even able to get the entire Harry Potter series for $4 dollars each! These hard cover books are usually sold for about $32 dollars each!
Friends of the Library Bookstore actually partners with multiple libraries around this area and sells used or donated books as well. I didn’t actually get to go inside this one, because it closed before I got there. But I had to put it on the list, because it seemed really nice. I also found a smaller section of this bookstore inside the Rockville library, where it looks like they will be resuming access August 28th!
Traveling to these bookstores was something I’ve never done before, and it made for a really fun day. I encourage all the book worms out there to check these out!
