Friends Library Store

A literary boutique where every dollar you spend helps the library! This gem of a store is right in the lobby of the Central Library. Excellent selection of like-new used books, delightful Portland-y cards for all occasions, and a million gifts from tote bags to jewelry. Bargain books out front for kids and adults. It’s a hidden treasure.

This is my go to shop for gifts, cards, and books downtown. If you think Powell's is too stressful then head to this chill Oasis. They have great literature related gifts, puzzles, journals, beautiful local greeting cards, and super deals on gently used books including YA and kids books. Fun feministy themed goodies, jewelry, totes, games...what else? What don't they have!

This is a nice little shop tucked away inside the main central library. In addition to books, they also have literary-themed gifts. Great for tourists looking for a souvenir. And the organization is a non-profit that uses its proceeds to support the Multnomah Libraries!

Nice people who work here and a great selection of product, been here a few times and there is always something new and different here. Great selection of used books too

Fun, quirky cards for all occasions.
