Store Description

The Secondhand Prose Used Book Store is part of the Jesup Memorial Library. Opened in 2013, we are currently online with a summer sale at the library. When the addition to the library is completed we will have a store presence in the library. The store sells used books of all kinds, still in good shape, that have been donated to the library along with DVDs and CDs. All profits go directly to the Jesup.
