VISION

There's more to a bookstore than the books on the shelves. When you buy a book from Changing Hands, part of the price you pay goes to:
  • Support our friendly, hardworking, knowledgeable staff
  • Support programs on local public radio stations KJZZ & KBAQ
  • Support local schools and teachers
  • Support over 200 local, national & international charities and service organizations
No part of the price you pay goes to:
  • Remote corporate headquarters where decisions are based solely on maximizing profits
  • Absentee owners who don't work in the store or live in the community

At Changing Hands we are dedicated to doing business as a responsible member of our community in a manner that results in making a modest profit without exploiting our employees, our vendors or our customers. When you shop at Changing Hands, you join with us in building community.
