Friendly staff of volunteers. This is a part of the Austin Library system, sort of a last ditch effort to save books. They weigh your purchase so they can keep track of how much waste stays out of the landfills. Good variety of books to look through in air conditioned comfort. Good luck coming out of the place without a purchase.

Recycled Reads is one of my favorite hidden gems in Austin! This is a great place to find high-quality used books from the Austin Public Library system. Most are under $2 each, with a few special editions as well. Off Burnet Road, and lots of great shopping nearby.

Great atmosphere and a wide selection of used books at unbelievable prices. I went crazy and was able to walk out with 39 books and a total of only $27.50! On top of this there are a number of fun events held at the store that only make each visit better.

Love this store ! It is the outlet for all of the books, audio, movies and Misc. that the Austin Library system is excessing...Super cheap, and you will never find a more esoteric collection of "interesting stuff" to peruse...a really fun afternoon...

Great selection of former library books, but also rare, used books, signed first edition copies, and (20th Century) antiquarian books. All at reasonable prices and, occasionally, they do a $2 all-you-can-fit-in-a-bag paperback sales.

This place is fantastic! They have children books and adult ranging in price from fifty cents to two dollars. I donated a ton of books to them recently because all the proceeds go towards the Austin Public Library.

Selection is always changing. The prices are 50 cents, one dollar and two dollars. I can find books that complete series I am collecting and then donate CDs, DVDs VHS & vinyl.

Cheap library cast off and donated boos. Organized library style. Best place to get kids picture books, hands down! 50 cents for kids books. $1 and $2 for adult reads.

Great deals on softcovers and hardbacks, and many craft projects. In addition, they have poetry nights and other events.

I go at least once a week gold digging for great books. Staff/Volunteers are an absolute delight as well.

Great place to support the community and get wonderful books and media at phenomenal prices.

Cheapest book store! They even get old library books, which are practically indestructible.
