The Friends of the Wichita Falls Public Library operates a Book Warehouse (a tax-exempt org.) where we sell donated books and more: Hardbacks usually $1, paperbacks 50 cents, children's books 25 cents. We sell books of greater value (rare, collectible, sets, etc.) online through eBay. We sell lots of books to resellers, some of whom come from all across the country as we are listed on "booksalefinder.com" and we give a lot of books away for free: Homeschoolers (usually return them at the end of the school year), teachers, future teachers, pastors, church libraries, veterans, first responders, other tax-exempt organizations, social service organizations and the city housing authority, county jails, our large prison and 34 Little Free Libraries. Most recipients of free books make a cash donation although that is not necessary. We get our dollar for a book and hope it will be read and not discarded. If someone chooses to try to resell it for whatever reason, we are okay with that. We have a 10,500 sq. ft. building donated for our use, and we have over 125,000 books in addition to CDs, DVDs, audio and video cassettes (which we give away) and lots of free magazines, National Geographic being the most popular. If someone comes in and wants a book or more, tells us he or she is not working, we will give that person anything non-fiction, especially if they are looking for information about a field of employment. We also have free tables outside (in good weather) for all kinds of books and more that are not really good quality but still intact, so those items are not just tossed into the trash. Actually, we recycle all paper, cardboard, damaged or moldy materials into compost (a city program) so they don't just go into the landfill. As a public charity, we do our best to promote literacy in our community and are happy to help anyone who wants to read and hopefully learn. We are on Facebook if you would like to see pictures of our facility.
