Thank You for Your Support

May 30, 2021

HOW MANY WAYS CAN WE SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE SUPPORT WE HAVE RECEIVED IN THIS PAST YEAR?

The pandemic affected most if not every part of our lives. The main source of the funds we raise to support and sponsor programs at the Napa Library are the quarterly book sales we hold at the library as well as the Lobby Book Sales. Because the library was closed, we were not able to hold our sales in 2020 nor could anyone shop at the Lobby Book Sale.

While we could not hold our regular sales, the book, CD and DVD donations from the public kept coming in. We think that donors had time at home and decided to let go of many of their books, music and movies. And we were the recipients of these great purges! Boxes of books and media piled everywhere. We put our thinking caps on and with the help of the Napa Library we held two “Backdoor By the Box Book Sales”. Shoppers appeared at our back door and purchased boxes of books by category. It was like opening a Holiday or Birthday present – surprises inside!

Because of the continued generosity of our book and media donors, volunteers who were able to continue to process the incoming donations and buyers who continued to show up and purchase our inventory, we were able to honor some of our commitments to the Library programs that count on us to succeed and serve all of our library patrons.

LOBBY BOOK SALES
When the Napa County Library is open for business, please don’t forget to visit our Lobby Book Sale.  From donations, we select some of the best books, CDs and DVDs to sell in the Lobby at the Library. Sales are on the honor system. You can pay in exact cash or by check. UPDATE: we now take Venmo and PayPal for those of you with their apps on your smartphone.
Take a look next time you are at the library and see what treasures you will discover!

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.
Please visit our Donations Page for more information on how to make a Book/CD/DVD donation.
