Many Friends groups are using an additional venue for selling used books. While most are still engaged in wonderful and fun used book sales and library book stores, more and more are selling "special" books online. It takes time and commitment to sell books this way but selling online can bring in much more for books that wouldn't sell at the book sale or wouldn't sell at the price you can get when you access the world of book buyers in the digital world.
