Book Cellar (Friends Of The San Antonio Public Library)

What a wonderful place and event to be involved and invited too. I really enjoyed it. The book cellar is a very nice place to go for books and gifts of books for that special friend. You’ll find a genre for them and also kids as well at a low low low fraction/bargain of the price. Please visit the book cellar located in the basement of the library. Dive into the many rows of used and non used books they have for sale and emerge yourself into reading again. Hours are limited but it’s so worth it.

This place is a hidden gem just located inside the main San Antonio library in the basement. I had just came across this awesome place and the staff is very friendly and helpful as they are all volunteers. Make sure that you are nice and have patience with you. There are books as low as free, $.10, $.25, $1.00, $2.00 and on up. There is also rare books, cds, dvds and other stuff. Just remember there is construction in downtown but the library is open.

Great selection of books - fiction, non fiction, children's - at very good prices. They also have CDs and LPs, with an excellent collection of classical music. DVDs and Blu-ray. Vintage books. Texana. Magazines. I always seem to come away with a lot of good finds. The volunteer staff are helpful and friendly.

Amazing! January book sale - easy readers 50 cents a book. Yes please!!!! Filling my classroom library for $50!

The staff are volunteers. They're always happy to help you. This place has INSANE bargains! I've picked up Criterion Collection titles here, normally $39.95-69.95 retail, for $2! There are reference books, graphic novels, trade paperbacks, kid's books, etc.. This is one of my favorite stores.

This place is extremely dangerous for bibliophiles! (but in the absolute best way) Largest, widest, and best selection I've ever seen at a library used book shop. And it's well organized, with adult and children's sections, non-fiction ordered by Dewey decimal, and special sections for art, vintage/collectible, holiday, and more.

Edit: If you're going out of your way to go here, you might want to call first. I think they're understaffed at the moment, and last time I went they were closed for the day due to staffing issues.

Found popular hardcover releases for $2 each! Hidden gem for sure and worth the visit.

I discovered this wonderful place in my search for used book stores. I’m so happy I went because it’s a true hidden gem! Not only are the books in great condition but they offer amazing prices, it’s wonderfully organized, & they have the friendliest staff!

My teacher heart is happy! Friendly staff and lots of amazing options. This was my first time going and I can't wait to go back next Saturday. Definitely passing it along to my fellow teachers.

They have best selection always and if you are book lover you will leave happy and delighted

This place is a lot bigger than I expected and they have a wide selection and flat, cheap prices based on broad categories. I'll definitely be checking back regularly to see what comes in stock... Also they have a couple of racks full of free books!

I love this bookstore it's in the basement of the Central Library!!! My favorite is the 10 cent books and other cheap great finds!

I love this place! So happy The Book Cellar has reopened! Long checkout lines but lots of selections on display while you wait. Friendly staff!

My favorite place to find books!! Who can beat $1 books! No one. I go at least once a month and I always walk out with several books in tow. Love, Love, Love this little gem of a bookstore.

Speaking as a confirmed and book-carrying bibliophile, this place is fantastic. Old, new, and everything in between floor to ceiling, wall to wall heaven - at prices that make me wish I'd brought a wheelbarrow!

Best deal in town for used books. FOSAPL staff helpful in assisting one find selections. Great place to volunteer if you love books

Great selection of children's book. The prices are THE best in town! This is my new favorite place!!!

My daughter LOVES going on book shopping sprees then gives the books to her friends when she’s done ❤

Good place for used books. Though not as many hours open as retailers. Ran by volunteers.

A hidden gem! Amazing prices, especially on the books that have been taken out of circulation.
