Project: Read
Always Buying Books is proud to launch Project: Read, an initiative to collect 1,000 children’s chapter books for a local elementary school’s before-school reading program. A dedicated teacher has taken the initiative to provide students with books on decorated carts, encouraging a love of reading before the school day begins.
We need your help! You can donate gently used chapter books or sell your books to us to support this cause. Always Buying Books has pledged $100 and as many books as we can to get started, but we need the community to step up and help us reach our goal.
A chapter book is a children’s book divided into chapters, typically suitable for 2nd grade and up. If you have books that fit this category, bring them in today! Together, we can make a difference and put books in the hands of young readers.
Donate or sell your books today at Always Buying Books! Let’s meet our goal by the end of the month!

School Lunch Program
The Always Buying Books School Lunch program continues in 2025!
Last year, with the help of our amazing customers, we provided over 1,000 lunches for kids who can’t afford a meal! And this year, we are on pace to do even more!!
Books Behind Bars
For the last 9 years, Always Buying Books has donated books to city and county jails, as well as state and federal prisons.
These books come at no cost to the inmates.
The Book Buffet
The BOOK BUFFET outside on the sidewalk is full of great books, table after table, all available for a cash donation that goes towards a different area school each week. These books are either over flows from the store or books we bought in bulk.
We go through the Book Buffet every day, adding new books and removing old ones.
Books are sectioned off with the RED RACKS. Paperback fiction, children’s books, hardback fiction, non-fiction, crafts, cookbooks, biographies, and Christian books.
