Book Bag Shop:
The Book Bag Shop is a used books store located in the Saratoga Springs Public Library. It was established by the Friends after the new library was completed, and provides not only significant money for library enhancement and programs, but also affordable reading material for the community and a convenient way for citizens to recycle used books.
Visit us for children's and adult books, CDs, records, cassettes, videos, audio tapes, magazines and puzzles.
