3 min read

If you’re out near Clackamas Town Centerand want a real bookstore — the kind where you lose track of time in the stacks and walk out with something you weren’t looking for — you’re just minutes away from one.

Meet To Be Read

To Be Read(the longtime Clackamas Book Exchange) is a used bookstore that’s served the area for over 45 years. We’re a short drive from the Clackamas Town Center area in neighboring Milwaukie, at 7931 SE King Rd, Ste 1, with free parking out front.

Why make the short trip

  • Thousands of used titles across fiction, classics, romantasy, mystery, sci-fi, kids’ books, and nonfiction — at used-book prices.
  • Trade your old books for store credit and walk the shelves while we look them over.
  • Real recommendations from people who actually read, not an algorithm on an endcap.

Plan a quick visit

Check our hours, map, and directionsbefore you come, and bring any books you’re ready to part with — here’s how trade-in credit works.

Know what you want first

Browse the shelves online or tell the Matchmakerwhat you’re in the mood for, and we’ll point you to it when you arrive. New to the area? See our guide for readers visiting from Portland.
