Used Book Sales
As one of its fundraising efforts, Cape Breton Regional Library holds book sales in various library branches across the region. These sales raise much needed funds for the Library while making room for new materials. The book sales include adult and children’s books in both paperback and hardcover at very good prices. Some branches also sell audiobooks and DVDs. All proceeds of book sales are used to supplement and support library programs and services.
