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.

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!

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.

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!

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!!
