Tucked away in a small warehouse complex in Pinellas Park is an open air repository of nearly 100,000 rescued books looking for new homes.
It’s called The Book Rescuers, and owners George and Sarah Brooks have a simple, but multifaceted mission: keep books and other media out of landfills and give back to the community through the power of reading.
These shelves are filled with every genre and subgenre you can think of, and they’re organized alphabetically by author’s last name. There are sections for Florida books and authors as well as crates of vinyl records, CDs, DVDs, VHS tapes and displays of local art.
Almost every book is priced $1-$3 with more expensive items still set under $10.
