Friends of the Roswell Library

Good books and great prices! Everything we sell is donated. You will find the Friends Bookstore just to your left as you enter the lobby of the library. We carry a large variety of gently used books all at bargain prices.

Everyone who works in the store is a volunteer. The proceeds benefit our library in many ways—for instance, to fund programs; to send staff to conferences; and to purchase books, supplies, and equipment. Our Friends group supplements and enriches what the Fulton County budget provides for our libraries. All contributions are tax-deductible. 

Scanning devices are not permitted in the bookstore unless it is the Saturday or Monday of a book sale. 

We are entirely dependent on you for what we have to sell. Thank you for being so generous!

Your donations of books and materials in good condition—fiction and non-fiction; children’s and adult; hardcover and paperback—are critical to the success of our efforts to provide a well-stocked bookstore, have frequent book sales, and support the library. 

Guidelines for donating books—-
   -Good condition  (Would you buy it?)
   -No encyclopedias
   -No old computer books, business books or textbooks

We do not sell magazines, DVDs, CDs, etc. in the store. However, we do have a way to sell them to outside buyers, so please feel free to donate DVD’s, CDs, audio book CDs, video games, and vinyl records to the bookstore. 

National Geographic magazines are always accepted donations. Before donating any other magazines, check with the bookstore to find out if they will be accepted.

Yes—-we do take puzzles and games!

And, please, if you plan to recycle your books to another reader, do not listen to the decorator who tells you to take the dust jackets off your books; it is nearly impossible to sell a current book with no dust jacket.

Donations can be dropped off in the bookstore during normal library hours. There is a dolly in the bookstore for you to use to transport boxes from your car. 

Tax receipts are available from the volunteer in the bookstore.
