Recycled Reads

Recycled Reads, the Austin Public Library’s Used Bookstore, is a zero-waste, non-profit with all proceeds benefitting the Austin Public Library. Along with books weeded from the Library’s collection, the bookstore offers books that were donated and overruns direct from the publisher. Nothing ever goes into the landfill. What can’t be sold is responsibly recycled. Since May 2011 the used bookstore has diverted 47 tons from the landfill while raising funds for the Library.
