How Mission Curiosity works?
Uniform Pricing, Universal Access
At Mission Curiosity Bookstore, we believe literature should be accessible to everyone. That’s why every book in our store is priced at just $5—regardless of genre, age, or condition. Our simple pricing model reflects our commitment to removing financial barriers to knowledge and encourages a love for reading across all walks of life.
Empowering Community Partners
A cornerstone of our mission is supporting the incredible work of our non-profit partners. For clients of these organizations, our books are available for free. Every dollar collected from our $5 sales goes directly toward servicing these partners, ensuring that our profits help to expand educational and literacy programs throughout the community.
Sustainable Book Cycle
We also welcome gently used books, creating a sustainable cycle that benefits everyone. By accepting quality donations, we not only refresh our inventory but also give pre-loved stories a new life. The proceeds from reselling these books fuel our mission—making literature and knowledge more accessible to those who need it most.
We’re excited to share our journey and welcome you to be a part of our mission to open minds and transform lives through books.
