    don't forget the charity/secondhand ones where theres some great deals to be had if you're in the right place at the right time
    theres oxfam(new) next to tir na nog (health food shop)
    enable ireland in the wine street car park
    sligo social services (cramped but cosy)on harmony hill
    and the name of the one on the mall is the bookmart ,friendly staff and great selection of good value books
    theres also the aikido secondhand shop at the quay street car park has some books etc.
    thats all I can remember right now

    Its called Bargain Books, they are down near the hairdressers. Not the biggest selection of books, but most of them are 3.99 which is pretty good. They also have some art things as well.

    If you are in Ballymote there is Bookmart above Cryans. Its a second hand book shop.
    Its great because you can bring any books into them and they will give you credit to buy other ones.
    They are really nice people as well.

    I don't know if they are the same people as the one on The Mall. They are from America and live in Kesh, so I'm guessing its different people.
