Hi, {{first_name | friend}}!
Happy Halloweek, friends! Whether your library goes all out with costume contests and decorations or simply leaves out a big bowl of candy for visitors (equally awesome!), we hope your week is festive and fun.
And since it’s a special week, we’re doing things a little differently. We’ve still got big adaptation news and a spotlight to help you satisfy your Fourth Wing fans, but we’re also going “trick-or-treating” with some LibraryAdvantage hacks and perks you might not know about. After all, not knowing how to make the most of your library’s budget and resources? Now that’s scary.

Narnia: The Magician's Nephew
In theaters February 12, 2027
The trailer for Greta Gerwig’s rock ’n’ roll-inspired adaptation of C.S. Lewis’s The Magician’s Nephew is finally here, and the internet is SAT. Since it’s a prequel to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, now’s the perfect time to stock up on the entire Chronicles of Narnia series before the movie takes over pop culture in February.
Hold, Please!

Trick-or-Treat: LibraryAdvantage Edition
We know librarians have a million things on their plates, and the last thing you need is to miss out on a perk that could make your job easier. So we’re sharing some LibraryAdvantage tricks (hacks) and treats (perks) to help you make the most of everything it has to offer!
Trick: You can buy both new and used titles
Missing that one out-of-print title to complete a series? Hunting down a hard-to-find book for a patron? You can shop new and used books in the same cart, giving you more options to find exactly what your library needs, all in one convenient order.
Customer service prioritizes you, not the big guys
We know smaller libraries don’t always get the attention they deserve from big retailers. That’s why ThriftBooks makes smaller libraries a priority, with a dedicated customer service team that’s always quick to respond. Send us an email and say hi!
Selling your books back to ThriftBooks is easy (and free!)
Got books to offload? There are no startup, annual, or membership fees, no monthly minimums, and no need to scan every book in advance. Plus, you can send books on your own schedule, with flexible shipping options to make the process a breeze. Learn how to get started!
