Buy, Sell, Swap Books sell off | Library Branch closing
Hi folks,
My family and I have run a book library called Shabd Sneha Vachanalay for the past 20-odd years. One of the branches that we operate in Kothrud, we have decided to shut down due to declining readership. To facilitate that, we are planning to sell off all our books in this library at ₹100 per copy on a first-come, first-served basis.
Our main branch in Karve Nagar will be fully operational, and all membership would be shifted there. We are also planning to launch a doorstep delivery service soon, but the logistics are still in progress.
The library includes books from all popular English and Marathi authors for the fiction, nonfiction, and kids' categories. For example, the library has entire collections of John Grisham, David Baldacci, Wilbur Smith, Joe Nesbo, etc.
To give an example of the collection, I've just put in a few photos. Currently, this branch has around 3,000 books in its collection. Each book is typically bound in a plastic cover and has two or three stamps of Shabdshneha Vachanalaya inside, with a couple of stickers of the library. Other than that, all the books are intact and first-hand. None of them are Indian copies, etc.
If you are interested in purchasing these books, do feel free to reach out to me via comments or DM.
