Support your library
Friends of the Carmel Valley Library (CVL Friends) is a nonprofit group that raises funds for library programs. Join us in supporting the Carmel Valley Library — because a library is more than a building, it’s a portal to understanding, imagination and opportunity!
Bookstore
The Friendly Finds Bookstore has a great selection of used books donated by the community.
Most books are $1 each and all proceeds go to the library. The bookstore is open during library hours.
Book genres include fiction, YA, biographies, children’s, science, business and more.
