Considering the massive rainstorm I just drove through and this location along the river, the books inside were in excellent condition. The single box is on one post and there is parking nearby. Inside, two shelves of books. Mostly young adult and children's reading but some romance and fiction. Nothing that caught my eye but still good options. This is not in the Little Free Library database map so it's probably not part of that program. I did not see any indicators of the sponsorship or steward for this community book box.

It stands on a single post and has the one door. This library does not appear in the Little Free Library database map and does not have any indications on it who sponsored it or the steward. I think it's safe to assume the fire department was involved. Inside, it has two shelves that were neatly organized. Mostly children's and young adult reading today, there wasn't anything that caught my eye. Some hand-made bookmarks were also available. There is parking to visit the library. Be sure you're in a marked space so that you're not blocking any fire fighting apparatus. [Review 893 of 2025 - 4315 in North Carolina - 24450 overall]

A lovely & cozy book store! Lots of selection organized in more categories than I've seen elsewhere…read more(which was very convenient) & they're in very good condition. They have a few chairs throughout & even a little reading nook, they also provide bags & even have small carts for you to use while you're there. The staff was very friendly & helpful finding books. They have a credit system when you bring in used books to go towards your purchases. They also sell puzzles, book marks, stickers & more small things. This has easily become my new favorite spot!

I spotted the Recycled Reader in Downtown Elizabeth City and was intrigued by the used bookstore…read morethat appeared to be a bank at some point. When I entered I was not expecting the number of books inside. This place is huge. The store was divided by genres and had a good selection of books. I am not sure what the pricing was like as I did not see a price on the books. It seems that most people trade books in and use store credit to get newer books. Besides used books, they had some new books and used puzzles. The Recycled Reader had dedicated parking spots for customers. I enjoyed the bank vault that was made into a colorful reading nook. The store is an asset to the community so check it out if you are in Elizabeth City.

It's hard to miss with these colors and with the pretty flowers around the base. The library stands on a single post and has one door secured with a twist catch. Inside, well stuffed with books. Lots of children's, some recent best sellers and more. A great variety. This is charter number 98090 and it is listed in the Little Free Library database map as "Cat's Little Free Library" with this caption, "Our friend, Catherine, was an educator, avid reader, loving daughter, sister, wife and mommy. Cat was passionate about everything in our world. She loved yellow roses. She passed away in 2019, much too young.

It mostly contained kids books and it would be nice to have a bit more variety, and maybe the steward could include some train books as well! The painting of this library box is pretty cool, and was done by Heather Eichman, a local artists who supports the Suffolk Art League in this quaint little town. Suffolk is known for the Planters Peanuts Factory! And you'll definitely go nuts for this library as you as tooling around the historic area! This Little Free Library is right on track for avid readers!

It is…read morepainted a very pretty red white and blue that makes it hard to miss even with all the sculptures about. Inside, a very limited selection of books and an audio book set or two. Not great and I'm bummed that I had already added my own books to an earlier visit at another LFL because this one needs the help. The box is sponsored by the Wilson Chamber of Commerce and the Wilson Times. It is not on the Little Free Library database and I don't see the charter number posted.

It is painted a bright blue and white making it hard to miss. It is a larger library. Inside, five shelves of neatly stacked books. Nearly all paperbacks, some romance, children's books, reference, learning, self-help, thriller and science fiction. A really great variety. This is charter 132473 and it is listed in the Little Free Library database map with the title "RWS Civic Association" but there is no steward listed. With all the weather, I'm surprised it's standing but here it is and it's fabulous. [Review 801 of 2025 - 4233 in North Carolina - 24361 overall]

Painted gray and white, it is easy to spot from the road and there is parking nearby. Fully enclosed with an opaque door and a hook/eye catch to keep the books secure, it opens to reveal three very stuffed shelves of books. Many of them too tall to stand up but there are hardcovers and paperbacks and children's books. Plenty of choices here. This library does not have a charter on it and it's not listed in the Little Free Library database map. There is a small plaque on it that says it was established in 2017 by Daisean Respers and there is an Eagle Scout logo. Well done. [Review 764 of 2025 - 4196 in North Carolina - 24324 overall]
