NILES — Shelf Life Community Bookstore is selling an abundance of federal and state law books at a discounted price.

The law books, many dating back several decades, can be used to enhance book shelves as the volumes have classic bindings with raised bands.  Other options include using the books in the creation of crafts.  Customers can choose from more than 200 volumes. 

“We continue to receive donated books from generous residents and we need the additional space,” said April Gargis, the manager of the store.  “All of our sections from fiction to children’s books to multiple genres of nonfiction need additional space for display.  We felt it was time that we offered the law books at a deep discount.”

The books are being sold for one dollar each or ten books for five dollars.  Evidence of the store’s willingness to part with the law books is its providing of boxes for those buying multiple volumes.

Shelf Life Community Bookstore, located at 223 N. Fourth St., is a volunteer-run operation. Proceeds from the store, after expenses, support the Niles DDA Main Street. Ten percent of sales are also donated to the Niles District Library.

The bookstore is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays; 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays and noon to 4 p.m. Sundays.
