"I love this place. Their reason for existing is to keep books that are being retired from the library's shelves from ending in the landfill. Too bad they're having to close."

Austin Public Library

Recycled Reads is an integral part of the Austin Public Library system, dedicated to extending the lifespan of materials by repurposing, recycling, or selling them. Located in Council District 7 of the City of Austin, this bookstore receives weeded materials from the library and donations from the community. With a vast array of items including books, recorded material, art, puzzles, and more, most priced at $2 and under, Recycled Reads offers a treasure trove for its visitors in its 5,000 square foot space. Proceeds from sales go directly towards benefiting the Austin Public Library, supporting its sustainable mission. Since its inception in 2009, Recycled Reads has diverted over 3,600 tons of material from landfills, thanks to the dedication of its small staff and committed volunteers. The store's commitment to sustainability is evident in its operations, relying on community involvement to continue its impactful work in reducing waste. Generated from the website content
