My Library Book Store is like any other online book retailer, with prices comparable to chain bookstores. There are approximately one million book titles available from the store. They also sell DVDs, Blu-Ray, audio books, and music CDs. Proceeds from the materials you buy go to the Friends group which in turn sponsor library events and materials.
