Cat's Corner is always looking to accept donations (trades) of clean, gently used books. Here are some frequently asked questions to help when bringing in your books.
What books do you accept?
Simply put ... used books in good condition. We appreciate all fiction genres including mystery, suspense, romance, westerns, horror, fantasy, paranormal, etc. We also look for non-fiction such as biographies, true crime, history, business, self-help, etc.

What books won't you accept?
You are free to bring in any book, and we will take a look. But chances are very good that we won't accept extremely old books, encyclopedias, text books, reader's digest, computer books, any media like CD's or DVD's. NOTE: We are currently not accepting any children's books.

When can I bring in my books?
Most of the time that Cat's Corner is open for business, Cat will be available to check over your books while you wait. If the store is busy, or if she has a backlog of books to check, we will let you know. If you have a lot of books, you may want to call the store ahead of time to check availability.

What is the process for "selling" my books to you?
When Cat goes through the books, she will determine what the store needs and separate out those books. She will calculate the value of the books and give you a store credit offer. Store credit is like a gift card that can be used on any books in the store. Cat's Corner does not buy books for cash. NOTE: Store Credit cannot be used on new items (bookmarks, puzzles, etc).

What about the books you don't want?
Because Cat's Corner is such a small store, our shelf space is limited and we have to be very selective. Any books not wanted by us will be given back to you. If you do not want these books, please consider donating them to a local thrift store.

Can I just donate my books to your store?
Absolutely! We would be honored to take your donations, but please don't include any that we likely wouldn't be able to sell (extremely old books, encyclopedias, text books, reader's digest, computer books, any media like CD's or DVD's). Any books that you donate to us that we cannot use will be donated to a local thrift store.
