Remember, we rely on donations from the public for the books, CD’s and DVD’s we sell. That means that if you have a favorite genre and we don’t seem to have a good selection, it is because donations in that category are low.  Talk up donating to the sale to all your book friends and acquaintances who share your interests.

 

Summer Reading

It’s Summer 2023 and we are all getting ready for trips, vacation, camping as well as the infamous “staycation”.

Whatever your plans, you are going to need to make sure you have enough reading material to get you through the lazy afternoons at the beach, whiling away the hours on planes, trains and automobiles or at home in the back yard.

If you missed the June Book Sale or discovered that you didn’t bring home enough books to get you through, our LOBBY SALE is right for you!!

As you enter the Napa Library you will find our books for sale on the left hand wall. The library has given us the entire wall of shelves so we have a much more expanded selection. In it you will find Staff Picks/Recommendations; fiction; history and biography; current events; mysteries; romance; cookbooks; and of course a selection of childrens books. We also offer CDs and DVDs and occasionally jigsaw puzzles and games. All of these offerings are donations from your Napa neighbors.

The Lobby Sale is open anytime the library is open for business. Most of the books are priced by type. Right most of them are $2.  Check the price list posted near the payment station. Some, including children’s books are marked with a price.

“How do I pay? you ask. The books are offered on the honor system which means we trust you to pay for your books at the cash box located in the corner of the sale shelves. We accept cash or checks in the locked cash box. Are you one of those folks who doesn’t like to carry cash anymore? You are in luck! Posted by the cash box are QR codes for Venmo or PayPal.

The lobby sales have become an important source of funds used to support many library programs. Check out the post below which gives you insight into the programs we have recently entirely or partially funded.  You will learn that your book donations and purchases come full circle through the sales to much needed library programs.  Doesn’t get much more local than that!
