MC'KAYS BOOKSTORE & RECORD STORE CHATTANOOGA

McKAY's is a used bookstore and record store, but we're also so much more! 

People bring us their previously loved books, music, movies, video games, and more, and we offer them cash or store credit in return. 

Everything you find on our shelves was brought to us by other customers like you, so you never know what you're going to find! 

Every visit to McKAY's is a unique adventure. 

-----------------------------------------

McKAY's was founded in 1974. Believing that the traditional educational system restrained learning, the owners wished to start an alternate university system. Deciding the core to a university is its library, the idea of a "free enterprise library" was conceived - a bookstore that would contain a wide variety of books that an individual could obtain cheaply, keep as long as they wanted to, and return for credit on other books in the future. Since it was possible to obtain second-hand books, the store quickly achieved an inventory representing nearly every conceivable type of book.
