Dog-Eared Books, a used bookstore at 4027 Atlantic Ave, Raleigh, in North Raleigh, is worth a visit for anyone who wants to stock up on reading materials, and, especially, for those who want to expand story time for their kids.
You’re not going to randomly stumble upon it, but if you plug the address into your phone you won’t have any trouble finding it, and when you do you might be a little bit surprised. Although it’s in a warehouse, It’s a warm, welcoming spot in a parking lot otherwise filled with industrial businesses. It’s to the north of I-440.
It’s only open Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Here’s why it’s worth the visit: all books are $1. In addition, there’s a room in the back where you can fill a bag with books for $10. There are several bins of children’s books, and you can fit a lot of those books into the bag.
There are also some used records for sale, and artwork that would make a great gift. The artist paints watercolor art onto a page of text from a book, or on a piece of sheet music. There are tons of examples to browse through. If a certain book or piece of music is meaningful to someone you’re close to, this would be a thoughtful, unique gift.
