The By the Box Back Door Booksale we held in August was a great success! Thank you to all of you who stopped by to buy books by the box. We came up with this idea when we were inundated with books generously donated by you, our friends. With no regular book sale on the horizon, selling books by the box seemed like a good solution. AND BOY WAS IT!
We had no idea there was so much pent up demand for our books. Thank you to everyone who patiently waited in line to place your order and then for your order to be put together. We sure learned a lot about logitics!!
This sale was so successful we are planning on holding another one soon.
SO WATCH THIS SPACE FOR NEWS AND DATES OF THE NEXT BY THE BOX SALE.
We Get Donations!
We get many donations from people cleaning out their book collections for many reasons. Because we assist donors with the logistics of the donation, we get to know our donors. So watch this space as we recognize and thank our donors.
A big THANK YOU to JUANITA DURAN for your generous donation of books!

BOOK DONATIONS – Please read!
The Friends of the Napa Library raises funds to support library programs mainly by holding quarterly used book sales and offering special books, CD’s and DVD’s in the lobby at the library. We rely on donations from the public and books the library removes from circulation to provide what we sell. We recognize that without these donations, our ability to raise funds would be severely limited.
However, until the library opens for business and we figure out how we will be able to accept donations on a regular basis we have limited ability to accept and process donations.. So please be patient if you have donations for us.
If you have small donations such as a bag/box or two, please use the bin located at the northeast corner of the library. We are able to empty the bins to keep the books safe.
Because we currently have no staff at the library, if you have a larger donation, please call for an appointment so we can meet you at the library. To make an appointment, please call Bruce Taylor, Book Sale Manager at 707.253.4614. He is available Monday – Friday mornings from 10am-12p. You may also leave a message and he will return your call. You may also contact him at brucepensionato2001@gmail.com.
We currently do not have the room or staff or security to accept donations that cannot fit into the bins. So please understand our current limitations and not leave donations outside the bins.
We appreciate your donations and your patience while we work our way through the “new” normal, whatever that may bring!
