Book Corner

The FOBL Book Corner

The FOBL Book Corner is run by a cadre of volunteers who keep the shelves supplied with a variety of gently used paperbacks, hardcovers, and DVDs on all possible subjects. Here you will find fiction, literary classics, mysteries, non-fiction, cookbooks, gardening, self-help, and all manner of titles.

Prices vary, but are without a doubt the best deal in Town! Please visit the Book Corner in the right-hand side of the library as you enter from the lobby.

“One cannot have too many books.”

Well, sometimes we can! And the Friends of the Bluffton Library are ready and able to help with your decluttering / downsizing / spring cleaning projects. Some books you have to keep of course, what is a room without books after all; but why not share those you no longer need with the Bluffton community? We are happy to take them and all proceeds from our Book Corner sales will be used to support the many Bluffton Library programs.

If you wish that your donated books be added to the Library’s collection, please contact the FOBL at: friendsoftheblufftonlibrary@gmail.com

For donations of more than 20 books, or to learn more about book donations, please contact the FOBL at: friendsoftheblufftonlibrary@gmail.com
