 Secondhand Prose
Secondhand Prose sells quality used books at 1222 Main Street in St. Johnsbury, VT. The shop opened in October 2006 as a fundraising effort by the Friends of the St. Johnsbury Athenaeum, on behalf of the library and art gallery across the road in that historic and lovely structure.
Staffed by dedicated volunteers, Secondhand Prose welcomes the books that neighbors and visitors donate. Raising support for the Athenaeum through selling these books is our entire mission.
