The weekly truckloads bring about 42,000-lbs. of books each time which means the team sorts through about 10,000-lbs. of books a day! The titles are organized by genre and placed in giant cardboard boxes for customers to sift through.
Regardless of actual retail value, all of the books at Warrior Gabby are sold by the pound or box. Find a stack of new reads for only 75¢/pound or bring home a box for $20! Boxes are approximately 30-40-lbs.
You never know what treasures you’ll find while digging through these boxes! Maybe you’ll discover a childhood favorite or a recent award-winning title.
The warehouse also has audio books, vintage books, and author-signed books as well! In addition to these, Warrior Gabby also carries DVDs, CDs, VHS, computer games, console games, and vinyl all for a dollar or two!
“As Warriors, our enemy is the fear within children; our mission is to remove that fear. We seek to work towards that goal through empowerment by being able to supply knowledge in the form of free children’s books to all Foster Children and Child Advocacy Groups in need.”
You can feel good knowing that your money is doing more than just adding to your personal library. You’re helping the Warrior’s put books into foster children’s hands as well. Remember: you can never have too many books, only not enough shelves!
