Award-Winning Bookstore

Gently used books for readers of all ages and interests are on sale during library hours in the Library Bookstore on the first floor opposite the Checkout Desk. The shelves are re-stocked frequently.

Congratulations to Sherri Garber and Eve Neidergang and the Friends for being awarded the Gale Cengage Library Development Award in 2010 for their work in transforming the library book sale.

A Princeton Public Library card is not needed to purchase books. Payment is made at the Checkout Desk.

All Book Sale proceeds are used to help the library purchase books and materials and to support programs.
