Corvallis-Benton County Public Library

The Book Shelf Sale has been a popular service since its debut in August 2004. It is also a profitable project, earning $7800 during 2007 for Library programs and services.

Books are sold on the honor system for fifty cents each. A lock box is provided for purchases; it is emptied frequently.

Books sold on the Book Shelf are those that the sorting volunteers select as being duplicates, favorites from past years, of unique interest, or not of the quality for our other sales. The supply includes both adult and children’s books, paperbacks, hardbacks, fiction and non-fiction.

Books are generally restocked several times a week.

Book Shelf Sales are also available in the Alsea and Monroe Libraries.
