The following letter was printed in the Napa Register early this week. It demonstrates the dedication of our many volunteers!

“Last week I donated several boxes of books to The Napa Library. The next day, Bill (from Friends of the Napa Library) appeared at my door stating they had found $150 in one of the books and wanted to return it to me. During this time of much sad news, I want to publicly acknowledge the honesty of Bill and Friends of the Napa Library.”

THANK YOU! Thank you to our generous donors for your contributions during the 2020 Give!Guide We count on donations to help us make up the funds usually collected from our book sales. All of the proceeds from the book sales pay for many library programs. Without our fundraising, many programs may go unfunded for 2021. Visit Where the Money Goes to learn about the programs we support.

Familiar with the Friends on-going lobby book sale?

We are excited to announce it is getting a face lift for the holidays. Starting on Monday, December 7, you will find the lobby book sale stocked with Better Children’s Books (really good stuff) and Better Gift Books for the holidays.
A Great opportunity to do both your Christmas shopping and support the on-going work of the Napa Friends of the Library. Stop by when you visit the library.
Shopping hints: the Lobby Sale is on the honors system and we take cash or checks made out to FOL Napa.

Once again the generous Napans donated so many used books we were able to hold our second Back Door/By the Box Book Sale this fall. The response from book-hungry Bay Area residents was overwhelming and we were able to sell all of the books we had collected for the sale.
Our regularly held multi-day sales successfully support many library programs. Because currently we cannot safely hold sales in their regular format, the Back Door/By the Box sales generate enough funds so we are still able to support some of the programs at the library.
Thank you to everyone who donated books, purchased boxes of books and volunteered to box donated books or work at the sale itself.
We continue to process donations and hope to collect enough books to hold our third sale very soon – hopefully before Christmas. Watch this website and social media for updates on when we will hold our next sale!
