Processing small trades (1-3 bags/small boxes) will take approximately 15 - 20 minutes, and larger trades will take more time. We strongly encourage customers to plan for enough time, as we may not be able to store any books that are left. If possible, choose to bring in books on days without rain or snow. Free customer parking is available beside our building.
