We’re an independent, used bookstore with a big ambition – to foster literacy in our community, through affordable and free access to books.
When you shop at The Book Deal, you’re helping us to give away free children’s books (5 per child per visit) in the community!
In addition to direct giveaways to the community, we also offer a 10% discount to current and former educators.
We’re currently in the process of setting up additional ongoing partnerships and are always welcome to any suggestions!
Join us in our commitment to accessible literacy. Happy Reading!
