The Morro Bay Friends of the Library Book Store is open whenever the Library is open, and is well-stocked with high quality books and media for reading, listening, watching and gift giving. All proceeds earned from sales go directly to the Morro Bay Library.

Our collection is constantly changing, with volunteers putting out new items every day, including like-new hardbacks, paperbacks, CDs, DVDs, Books on CD and current magazines.

Prices for books and media start at just $1.00, with some select items up to $4. Children’s books start at 50 cents, as do magazines. Library-themed book bags are $10. Please try to bring exact change with you, as library staff does not handle money or make change.

Donations of new and gently used items are always accepted!
