Chapter2 Book Store Monthly Sale
Chapter 2 is fortunate to receive thousands of books and other media thanks to the generosity of the Desert Foothills Library community. These donations are sold in our Chapter 2 Bookstore or online on Amazon. Monthly book sales provide a wonderful opportunity to purchase quality books and other media at even lower prices than the everyday bargain prices in Chapter 2. The monthly book sale is throughout Chapter 2, the Jones/Coates Room, and/or our patio *weather permitting*.
Chapter 2 Monthly Sales are offered on the second Friday and Saturday of every month.
Can’t make a Sale? Check out our amazing selection on Amazon HERE. There are hundreds of books as well as CDs, DVDs and audiobooks listed there that are not on display in the bookstore.

Death Cafe does not promote beliefs, agendas, or products, nor is it a bereavement or grief support group.
