Bellevue Library

Corner Bookshop

The Corner Book Shop, operated by the Bellevue Friends of the Library, is located on the first floor of the library. The bookshop sells used books and a limited selection of office supplies.

Donations are always welcome for the bookshop’s on-going sales. All accepted item donations are tax deductible. Receipts for tax purposes are available at the bookshop counter or library Information Desk. Bookshop proceeds are used to fund library programs and services.

Please bring donations to the Bookshop during open hours or to the Information Desk inside the library. If you have several boxes of items, please ask Bookshop or Information Desk staff about use of a book cart.
