Stock Up On Summer Reading At The Leander Used Bookstore

LEANDER, TX -- With summer virtually upon us, you might want to stock up on books to get your read on. In so doing, you might consider something of a well-kept secret: The Leander Library Foundation's used bookstore at the library.

Library officials have a description of the place on the municipal website.

"There, you'll find many unique books, as well as audio books and videocassettes that have been donated by community members," officials say. "Run by volunteers, the bookstore is open five days a week and all proceeds go to purchase materials and fund programs for the Leander Public Library."

So not only would you be getting your supply of books as you head to the beach, but you'll be giving to a good cause as well. 

There are also opportunities for volunteerism at the bookstore. To apply, fill out an application online, and a Foundation board member will reach out to you in response. 

Hours of operation for the bookstore are Monday from 5 to 7 p.m. and Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
