[US-KS] [H] Library Cleanout! Books we are removing from our collection [W] Trades! Hoping to get new books to add to our collection!

https://imgur.com/a/w1RzHZ3

Thank you to everyone who responded to my first post! For those seeing this for the first time, I work for a library that is in the process of removing graphic novels and manga from our collection that don't circulate and have been given permission to try and trade them here for new books we can add to our collection! We would love to get new things to offer to our patrons while also finding a new home for our old books.

Here are things to consider. Every book I'm offering here is an Ex-Library Copy. I have removed stickers and marked out our library stamp. Some books are in better shape than others, but consider all books reader copies. I am happy to provide more detailed pictures of any item. Also, I cannot sell any items, all items are only for trade. We will cover shipping of books on our end and ask that you cover shipping on your end if you would like to make a trade.

We aren't looking for any books in particular, I'm open to all offers of graphic novels or manga. As long as it isn't something we already have, all offers will be considered. Please keep all offers fair as well, I know these are reader copies, but it would really help our budget to trade these books for new ones.

If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask, I hope you'll at least take a look and help us out!
