About Recycled Reads Austin
Welcome to Recycled Reads, the Austin (Texas) Public Library’s used book store. Recycled Reads is run mainly by volunteers, and we sell materials withdrawn from the Library’s collection as well as donations. The store gives books a second chance and is an active participant in the city’s Zero Waste Plan, ensuring obsolete materials are handled in an environmentally responsible way by keeping these materials out of landfills. Items that Recycled Reads cannot sell go to a non-profit organization that provides books and funding to third-world schools and libraries. In this way the Library contributes to a socially responsible cause by ensuring that knowledge and learning is passed along to others in need. Books that are unusable as reading material are sent to companies that will recycle them into building material.
Collectible and out-of-print items of special interest often come our way and we offer them at reasonable prices. Our goals are to raise money to support the Austin Public Library’s collections and programs while helping to Keep Austin Green. If you’re in or near Austin, come pay us a visit!
