Old Library Collectibles & Thrift Shop

This Thrift Shop gets in really great stuff! It is clean and organized and I have been SHOCKED by the deals I have found. NEW Ugg boots $ 5? YES PLEASE! Never worn Banana Republic blouse 50cents? HECK YES! The people who donate here donate quality items.
The lack of service mentioned in another review probably has to do with the fact that it is run by volunteers. It is also generally a VERY slow place to work (I have talked with the people in there a lot) and when you get literally a costumer every three hours I can see why they may get caught up in a personal conversation… sometimes it is other regulars (customers) who have sat down to chat as I would guess was the situation Marie was talking about because they never have more than two people on at a time as that would be ridiculous in the small slow store. If not being greeted ruins a shop for you so completely than I would say maybe you have the problem… As a shop girl myself else where I know about 75% of the time I greet people they either IGNORE me completely or act like I am the most annoying person on earth. Its happening less because I can read people better. I can usually tell the ones that want to be greeted helped from the leave me alone types.

Went in to kill some time before getting lunch. Walked in and four people were sitting at a table talking, did NOT greet us at all! Just looked at us and went on with their conversation.
When we were leaving they asked if we were looking for something. We said no and as we left they were laughing amongst each other about how we came in then left. NEVER coming back here!

I love this thrift shop. It operates by amazing volunteer senior citizen. It isn’t hard to find but it isn’t right on E California St. Well, please check it out and donate some stuff or $ it will go a long way here. :)
