Just take them to a fleamarket or sell them at a yard sale.

Selling on-line will likely get you a better deal than a used book store. I recommend you try Amazon.com. First do a search for your book’s ISBN number, and find out how much other sellers are charging for your book. If you sell for less than 10 dollars, you will not make a profit. Remember that Amazon will charge you a commission, and pay you 3.99 to ship your book. If you ship your book via media mail from the USPS, it will usually cost you less to ship the book than you are paid. If Amazon won’t take your book, the chances that a bookstore will take it, are slim. BTW, if you state that these are library books, it may actually increase your ability to sell, because library books are usually in excellent condition.

You could always try selling it online instead or another book store. I know people sell old books at Half.com all the time. Just be truthful about the library stickers and reasonable with the price and someone will be sure to buy it.
