Lakeside FOL Bookstore opened in March 2023 inside the new Lakeside branch library at 12428 Woodside Avenue, operating as a volunteer-run used bookstore benefiting the Friends of the Lakeside Library. The shop stocks hundreds of gently used titles across children's, teen, and adult categories — mysteries, science fiction, art, gardening, biographies, and history — sharing Woodside Avenue's secondhand-goods corridor with CBC Thrift Store a block east. Sheet music for violin, piano, fiddle, and guitar rounds out the inventory alongside DVDs and jigsaw puzzles, all priced to fund senior, teen, and children's programming at the library. The bookstore's loyalty punch card awards $10 in free books after ten $5 purchases, a membership perk that pairs with the library's own calendar of events anchored to Lindo Lake County Park programming across downtown Lakeside. Individual, senior, and family membership tiers fund annual acquisitions of approximately 2,000 donated volumes, sorted by genre and condition-graded before shelving in the 400-square-foot retail space.
