With two locations, the Friends of the Murrieta Library Bookstores sell gently-used, donated books. All funds raised support the Murrieta Public Library. To enjoy the quaint atmosphere while browsing the shelves loaded with more than 15,000 titles, visit this Los Alamos Road location in the Gateway Shopping Center or at its newest location adjacent to the library at 8 Town Square. Friends of the Murrieta Library is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that started before Murrieta had a library, acting as a catalyst in raising money to start one. If you have books to donate, drop them by either location during business hours.
