As the fires that ravaged our county and our neighbors in Sonoma County,  The Friends of the Napa Library (” the Friends”), along with just about everyone else, looked for ways to help the victims.  The one way we could help obviously involved books! The Friends provided many boxes of books to the shelter at the Napa Valley College and other places where families looked for ways to bring some normalcy to their lives.

We still have thousands of children’s books, trade and mass paperbacks which are available to anyone or any organization that needs them to restock schools, day care facilities, doctor’s offices, senior centers, community centers or home libraries lost in the fires.  Whether it be a group or organization that helps others or a family, the Friends want to do their part to help.  If you or anyone you know is in need,  give us a call at 707-253-4614 or email us at pensionato2001@aol.com.  We will work with you to get these books into the hands of those who want or need them. They will, of course, be free.

And to everyone who donates their books,  your donations do much good besides and beyond our fundraising book sales.  A Wholehearted  “Thank You” from the Friends.
