Book Nook & Donations

Welcome to the Friends Book Nook!

Our cozy little shop is staffed by volunteers. We strive to be staffed during all library open hours, but there are times the store is open without staffing.

Call the Book Nook at 307-733-2164 ext. 3238.

Located in the lobby of the Main Library, the Friends Book Nook is the Teton County Library Friends’ gently used book store with the best prices around. The Book Nook also sells audiobooks, music, and occasionally offers library merchandise such as t-shirts.

What we do with donations

While some donations do get chosen by library staff for the permanent collection, most items get passed along to the Teton County Library Friends. The Friends sort through these items and may add them to the Friends Book Nook in the library lobby, distribute them through the book bike, JH Airport bookshelf, Sprout Mobile, and Little Free Libraries, or share them with other local and regional organizations. 

Any books that we choose to add to the collections must also meet our regular selections criteria as outlined in our Collection Development Policy.
