Riverview]] A bookstore is a community building known in Sunset Valley and Riverview as Divisadero Budget Books. It is the place where you buy and sell books for your Sims and you can get a part-time job as a Bookstore Clerk.

This is one of the properties you can partner with and own in The Sims 3.

All the general books and skill books are available also in the library, although books bought from the bookstore can be brought home, while library books cannot.

In World Adventures, books can be bought at the market bookstore. There are no libraries in World Adventures' foreign countries, but plenty of bookshelves.
