Humane Society of Sierra Foothills Book Store

Great used bookstore. Great prices too! The workers always have a good grasp on what books they do and do not have. This is worth checking out!

A fantastic selection of books, well organized and extremely helpful volunteers. All for an excellent cause. I spend way too much time at this bookstore. I can take five gardening books home for 5 bucks and donate them back a month later. Then take five more and so on and so on. I really LOVE this store. They used to have cats for adoption there. I miss the cats.

Amazing prices with a friendly staff of volunteers and great books. I walked out with with a bag full of new condition hardbacks for less than $ 10. Love this place

A well-​organized, clean store with a whole lot of books. The shelves are continually replenished by enthusiastic volunteers. Prices are generally low. Located right near I-​80 with plenty of parking.

was on my way up the hill from work and thought I’d stop here QUICKLY to get some children’s books for my kids for Christmas. literally as I walked up to the door someone locked it as I was about to grab the door handle at 5:55. door sure they’re open 10 – 6. I get wanting to go home. and that its run by volunteers. but don’t volunteer if you don’t want to stay posted hours. I’ll go somewhere else.

Big selection. Well organized. Great prices. I really dislike bookstores with stacks of books covering stacks of books, especially if they are on the floor. All the books here are on shelves.

Love this place! Whenever we are in the area, we stop by. It’s in the Raley’s parking lot, but there’s no sign except for what’s painted on the store glass windows, so keep looking and you’ll see it! It’s to the left of Raley’s. Today as we were in there browsing the shelves, staff were putting up new (but of course, used) books, so I’m guessing they get a good flow of books through here.
There is such a large selection! Everything is very well organized by genre and even subcategories and mostly all in alphabetical order. They also have magazines, kids books, audio books, VHS tapes, and DVDs. If you’re a lover of mystery/​thriller/​suspense, in my opinion that’s the largest collection they have to offer. Hardbacks and paperbacks are both $ 1 and kids books are 25 cents (what a steal!).
It’s CASH ONLY! Nearby ATMs in case you forget cash: Wells Fargo (in Raley’s), Bank of America, and Bank of the West.
You can support a great cause and find some fun summer reading! So, what are you waiting for?

What a gem! Wish I had found this place years ago! The staff were so friendly and helpful. The entire store is clean and so organized. I can’t not believe all books are $ 1 or under (with a few exceptions). I did get a huge, lovely book on Ancient Egypt for $ 2. It would have been $ 75 retail at one of the big book stores-​score!
I will be returning again and again!

Best book store I’ve ever been in will be back. All ran by volunteers organized and clean. Check it out yall

I’ve only been in this bookstore a Hundred times or so and I’ve always donated the books back after I read them. Over the last few years I’ve usually been accompanied by my teacup Yorkies which are carried in a bag over my shoulder and delight most volunteers and shoppers. Today I was THROWN OUT because they no longer allow dogs in the store. They contend that they can’t get dog hair out of their new carpet. I pointed out that my dogs were not in contact with the carpet and that there are a plethora of vacuum cleaners that deal very well with pet hair. To no avail

By far the best place to buy books!!! Very clean and they have a friendly staff and also this is not a small place they have a huge selection!!!

This is a «must stop» used bookstore if you’re on your way to Reno or Auburn. Just off Foresthill Exit in the Raley shopping center (just before Ikeda’s). They recently moved to a new location in the same center, so alas, no more cute kittens or puppies awaiting adoption. I was there this past weekend and think prices went up to $ 1 for both hardback and paperback books. Oh, my! A whole dollar! And all voulnteer-​run with proceeds to the Humane Society! Terrific book selection — I’m partial to mysteries and there is huge choice. Better even than my beloved local Bay Books in San Ramon. I always arrive with a bag full of donations, and leave with the bag full of more books!

When I stopped in I had to ask twice about the prices because it seemed too good to be true! I bought almost brand new paperbacks for 50 cents! Hard covers are $ 1. For a huge of of books it’s surprisingly well organized. They even said you could leave your name and phone number if you were looking for a certain book. You have to stop by and check it out because nowhere can beat these prices!

It’s hard to beat the prices: any paperback for 50 cents? Plus they’ve got a huge selection that is well organized and great to browse.
The prices are low because its run entirely by volunteers, as the proceeds are for the animals.
Great location that’s just off the freeway if you’re off to the mountains and want something to read.

$ 1 used hardback and .50 cent paperbacks… can’t beat that! — If you are into buying used books, this is a great place to check out. they don’t have a ton of stuff and not quite sure how long they’ve been here but if there’s a good place to donate your used books and/​or buy used books, this is a good one. They also have some other items there — like a small thrift store. In the back they actually have animals that are up for adoption too.
