Frequently Asked Questions

  • We carry new and used books for all ages, but our shelving works a little differently to your traditional book store! Instead of sorting by genre, we encourage people to diversify their reading by showcasing underrepresented voices on our LGBTQ+, BIPOC, Disabled & Neurodiverse Authors & Stories shelves. Within those sections you’ll find books across all genres. You can ask a Bookseller or call the store to see if a certain book is in stock, or request a special order for store pick up here.

  • Underdog Bookstore is a 501c3 nonprofit! Everything we do goes back into furthering out mission and providing a safe space with free programs and resources for our community. Donations can be made online here, or by cash or card in store.

  • Unfortunately we had to stop operating our Community Fridge due to safety concerns for our staff and volunteers. We are trying to find a new outdoor location to host the fridge, and now offer a Mutual-Aid Pop-Up on the 2nd Sunday of each month from 11Am-2Pm instead.

  • We don’t buy used books but we do accept donations. We prioritize books that fit our mission - LGBTQ+, BIPOC, Disabled/Neurodiverse authors, Banned Books, and Children’s Books. We will select only the books that we can use, so if it’s more than a handful please call ahead to ensure that someone will be available to sort your donation on arrival.
