Community Resources

Public Library:

Library-a-Go-Go:  Discovery Bay is home to a new Library-a-Go-Go Kiosk located between Blockbuster and the CVS Pharmacy in the Sandy Cove Shopping Center.  Library-a-Go-Go is an automated book dispensing machine that contains approximately 400 books for youth and adults.  Simply bring your Contra Costa County Library Card to browse and borrow books directly from the kiosk, and then return them to the kiosk when you are done. Library-a-Go-Go is a service of the Contra Costa County Public Library; Discovery Bay residents are also encouraged to visit nearby East County public libraries in Brentwood, Oakley and Antioch to have access to a broader selection of books as well as periodicals, audio-visual materials, computers and more.

Other Support and Charitable Organizations:

Kids Helping Kids:  This organization was established by Discovery Bay residents Tyler Page and his mother, Laura Page.  The organization's mission is to educate and partner with children and adults globally, who want to be the difference. Kids Helping Kids wants to nurture young leaders as well as provide invaluable educational tools, such as building self-esteem, communication skills, problem-solving, public speaking, accountability, integrity, research technology and team-building.  As they build self-confident, reliant and accountable young adults that understand the importance of giving back, participants will begin to see the movement of being a part of the difference. 

Homeless Animals Response Program (HARP):  HARP is an all volunteer animal welfare organization dedicated to serving animals in the far East Contra Costa County. The organization is working to end pet overpopulation through community eduation, spay and neuter programs, and adoptions.
