The Title Wave Used Bookstore sells retired Multnomah County Library materials at discounted prices.

Volunteers also provide customer service for shoppers who enjoy a selection of books in various genres, videotapes, CDs, DVDs, audio books and more. History The building, designed in the Spanish Renaissance Revival style, was built in 1912 as the original Albina Branch Library, one of Multnomah County Library's Carnegie libraries. The store opened for business in March 1988. Since then, * 700,000+ Books Have Been Recycled * More than A Million And A Half in Revenue Has Been Generated * Volunteers Have Given 130,000+ Hours of Time How we do it: A faithful, hard-working corps of more than 50 volunteers staffs the store, handling all aspects of the operation. The books, discards from Multnomah County Library's collection, are removed from the library's computer catalog, stamped, sorted, researched, priced and shelved for retail.
