Friends of the Orinda Library Book Shop accepts donations of books and magazines from the community and sells them to the public to raise money to buy new books for the Orinda Library. Organized in 1958, the Friends of the Orinda Library is a non-profit organization set up to benefit the Orinda Library. Volunteers who work here are avid readers, they can, and usually do, recommend books they know and love to patrons. There is also a children's book section with a frog chair that the children love.
