Second Hand Prose is a used bookstore operated by the Friends of the Coronado Library inside the Coronado Public Library at 640 Orange Avenue, Coronado, 92118. The shop sells donated books, DVDs, and audiobooks at low prices, with all proceeds funding library programs, acquisitions, and community events. Inventory rotates frequently as Coronado residents donate collections — expect fiction, nonfiction, children's books, cookbooks, and military history. The store is staffed entirely by volunteers. For new books, bestsellers, and curated recommendations, Bay Books Coronado at 1007 Orange Avenue is the island's independent full-service bookshop four blocks east.
