There’s nothing quite like browsing a room full of books and letting your next favorite story find you. When you shop with Friends of the Pima County Public Library, you support library programs, literacy initiatives, and a sustainable culture of reuse — just by picking up a great book.
At the Book Barn, you’ll find an ever-changing selection of gently used books, vinyl records, puzzles, DVDs, and more — organized and easy to browse. Prices are low, and treasures are many! We sort, clean, and organize all donations with care, so every shopping trip feels like browsing a beloved neighborhood bookstore.
While you’re here, you’ll discover…
– Hardback and softcover books of all genres
– Fiction and nonfiction for all ages
– Rare and vintage books
– Cookbooks, travel guides, history, art, & more
– Kids’ and YA books at unbeatable prices
– CDs, DVDs, and Vinyl Records
– Collectibles in the Best of Friends Room
