There are many outstanding things about the Central Library in downtown San Diego. One great thing is their internet lab, where I can easily post to my blog when my home internet is temporarily down. Another is the used bookstore just inside the public library’s front entrance!

I can’t count all the awesome books, CD’s, graphic novels and other cool stuff I’ve stumbled across while browsing through the Friends of the Central Library Bookstore. Every time I go there seems to be a new crop on the shelves. My hungry eyes harvest the bounty. Fertile row after fertile row sprout with fiction, nonfiction, mysteries, science fiction, biographies, cookbooks, religion . . . you name it!

Are you looking for the coolest used bookstore in San Diego? Head downtown! The proceeds from every purchase help support the Central Library. In so many ways the library provides neighbors with opportunities, improving our community.

You never know what you'll find in this used bookstore. Perhaps someone would like to learn about The Practice of Palmistry.

I was shown this amazing pop-up book! Every page becomes a different habitat which plays realistic sound effects from nature!

Yesterday for one measly dollar I purchased one of the best resources ever written for identifying local flora.

You can’t beat that!

  1. My wife, Peggy, is president of our local friends of the library. They have this lovely little A-frame that they operate as a bookstore. It doesn’t stop us from supporting other bookstores, but we find a lot of our books there! –Curt
