Bookstore
The Friends of the Petoskey Public Library organize and maintain the only used Bookstore in town. The Bookstore is open during regular library hours and is located on the lower level of the Library.
The success of the Bookstore depends on the generous donations of quality used books from the public. Every year the Friends receive thousands of gently used titles to stock the Bookstore. Before adding books to the store, the Friends vet all donations.

- Funds from the sale of donations go to help support services at the Library.
- Donations are accepted at the main desk anytime the Library is open.
- Please bring donations inside; do not leave them at the door or in a book drop.
