What Do We Do?

The Friends of the Murrieta Library exists to support and assist the Murrieta Public Library. One of the ways we do this is by volunteering at the Library. You can find us helping by:

Shelving books
Working on projects in the Heritage Room
Volunteering to read to local HeadStart classes twice a month during the school year, and purchasing new children's books which we distribute through HeadStart to preschool children in December.

We also raise funds for the Library through:

Murrieta Birthday Bash book sales
City Block Party book sales
Internet book sales. All profits go the Library.
Friends of the Murrieta Library Bookstores, totally staffed by volunteers, are an ongoing fundraising project. All books for sale are donated and all profits from both stores are donated to the Library.
