Visit us at our new location in the Atrium of the Main Library.

Shop for great deals on gently used books, audiobooks, CDs & DVDs for all ages at the Friends of the Library bookstore! 100% of the proceeds from this volunteer-run bookstore are used to support free events and services for all ages at the Library.

The Bookstore is located inside the Main Library at 40 Washington Street in Quincy Center. The Bookstore is accessible to people with disabilities. The bookstore accepts both cash and credit card.

We are now accepting donations!  

If you have books, CDs, or DVDs in good condition that you no longer want, please consider donating them to the Friends for resale in the bookstore. It’s a great way to clean out your house and support the Library at the same time.

  • music on CD
  • DVDs, computer & video games

We do not accept:

  • magazines
  • outdated reference material such as old encyclopedias

Please leave donations in the Donation Bin located in the Atrium of the Main Library. The Atrium is accessible during library operating hours.
