2nd Chapter Bookstore

The Friends’ 2nd Chapter Bookstore, staffed by dedicated volunteers (click here for more information about volunteering), is a major source of funds for the Scituate library. 100% of our proceeds go toward the funding of museum passes, concerts, and programs for both children and adults. The bookstore features an extensive selection of gently used books for all ages. We sell only those in great condition - many suitable for gift-giving. Our customers love our selections, but most of all, they LOVE our prices . In all areas you can pay by cash , check or online via credit card (use the QR code to link to payment page).
