June Booksale is Here!

June 9, 2023

Our June Booksale is upon us!!

Summer comes with no school (if you are lucky), vacations, warm weather, swimming pools and fun with your friends. What better way to enjoy the summer than to stock up on your summer reading. Whether you are a parent with children looking for something to do or students who like a little escape from all of the activity of summer or someone who looks forward to their beach chair, a frosty beverage and a good book, we have the answer!

Join us on Saturday, June 10th through Sunday, June 18th in the Community Room at the Napa County Library. We continue to receive donations of great summer reading choices for adults and children. Speaking of children, remember that every student or child (age 0- ?) can pick out 3 free books every day they visit the book sale. What a great way to build your library!

Speaking of building a library, we received a generous donation of Chinese and Japanese Art Books which will be available for sale at the June sale. Stop by and check them out!

Following are our booksale hours:
Saturday, June 10 (Members’ Day)  10am – 4pm
Sunday, June 11  1pm – 4pm
Monday, June 12  10am – 7pm
Tuesday, June 13  10am – 7pm
Wednesday, June 14  10am – 7pm
Thursday, June 15  10am – 7pm
Friday, June 16 (Half Price Day)  10am – 5pm
Saturday, June 17 (Bag Day #1 – fill one bag of books for $5)  10am – 4pm
Sunday, June 18 (Bag Day #2 – fill two bags of books for $5)  1pm – 4pm

You are the key to our success! You are who keeps our mission going… you shop at our sales and you donate you books, CD’s and DVD’s that we then sell to your fellow shoppers. Or if you are like one of our frequent shoppers…you buy back a book you donated! We can’t do this without you!!

SEE YOU AT THE SALE!


Your Donations are Put to Good Use!

April 14, 2023

Ever wonder what else we do with your generous donations?

Frequently we get requests from community organizations to provide suitable books for their programs. Because you all are so generous with your donations, we are able to honor many of these requests. Sometimes it is a box or two of children’s books that are needed to give away at a literacy program.

Recently we were able to fulfill a request from Napa State Hospital to provide Spanish language books for a Spanish – speaking adult patient. We were able to put together a multi-volume donation including a blank journal that had been among the books left by a donor. The program director who made this request let us know after the patient received the books that he was much less isolated and was able to engage more…just because of a simple book donation.

We have also been asked to gather suitable books for programs at the Napa County Jail. Program directors know that giving someone a book to read gives them a chance to be entertained, nourished and challenged. Again the thank you notes we receive confirm that a book can do wonders in many ways.

If you have a program that could benefit from a donation of books, CDs or DVDs, please contact our Book Sale Manager, Bruce Taylor at (707)253-4614 for more information.

BOOK DONATIONS
Did you know that ALL OF THE BOOKS, CDs, DVDs and RECORDED BOOKS come from donations? While some of the donations come from the library as they cycle media out of their inventory, most of the items we sell come from donations by the public. Without donations, we cannot fund various programs at the library.

Donations are accepted anytime in the bins marked "'Friends of the Library Book Donations" located outdoors in the service/loading area of the library in the northeast corner of the building.
