The Friends of Middletown Thrall Library

I see another review for Friends of Middletown Thrall Library that was not too pleased trying to unload his books. I have only been to this store one time… this past Saturday. My family had a great time looking and while we were browsing at least one person was donating books. Anyhow, the selection was pretty good considering the size of the place and the prices were great… hardcovers $ 1.00; paperbacks $.50; National Geographic magazines only 10 cents each. History, fiction, science fiction, classics, books for kids and more, including old vinyl albums. Could easily spend 2 hours going through the books. We plan to go back.

i had a great idea! before preparing to sell my house and move, i will donate all of the books that i have accumulated in my home in the past 12 years. i boxed them and loaded them in my car. drove 20 miles to middletown, and unloaded them on the curb in front of the used book store. i brought the first box in and asked where to put them. my reply was «right back where you came from». they didn’t even want to look through them to see what they would take or not take. apparently, volunteers who really dont want to volunteer to do too much. i loaded them all back into my vehicle and took them to the recycle center. what a loss of time, effort, and reading material for someone else. a used book store is a great idea, but not this one.
