Cheap second-hand bookstores in Vilnius

Cheap second-hand bookstores in Vilnius - Crop faceless person demonstrating sign Sale

I will be going to Vilnius this year. As usual, I am aiming to visit places where I could buy used books (mostly dictionaries and grammar books in any language imaginable) in Vilnius. I am not looking for truly antique specimens, just used ones at a good price.

I have been time and again disenchanted by how seldom such stores have up-to-date info on Google Maps, so I am looking for recommendations of where I could find such places.

Also, what would be the name under which such places operate in Lithuania? Antikvarinis knygynas or something else?

Firstly there is a small chain of three used bookshops owned and run by the same people. They are called Keistoteka. One branch is located right in the historic old town while the other branches require a bit of a walk or a bus ride further north in the city.

There seem to be some others I haven't verified yet:

Knygos Namai seems to have two locations, according to Google Maps.

I'll try to verify these and update my answer before I leave Vilnius for Poland ...

Google Maps also shows one or two booksellers at or near Kalvariju Market. I found almost zero books but one stall that was packing up inside and perhaps some of the people selling their own junk on the street outside the market had a tiny selection of books almost all in Russian.
