Friends of the Library Bookstore
The bookstore is open for business! We look forward to seeing all of you shopping in the bookstore.
While we will strive to be open during the hours the library is open, our hours may be a little unpredictable because we are a volunteer run operation. We ask for your patience if you drop by and find us unexpectedly closed. You may call the any of the following numbers to make sure the bookstore will be open when you arrive:
Bookstore (925) 977-3349
Library information desk (925) 977-2975
Your support of the Walnut Creek Library Friends bookstore helps provide funds for library collections, services and programs.
