The race is on!  You only have the month of December remaining to participate in this annual giving event. The 2023 Give!Guide annual giving event officially kicked off on Wednesday, November 1st. The giving window for this year is November 1 – December 31. Using the 2023 Give!Guide makes it easy to donate to the Friends of the Napa Library (FOL) as well as 75 other Napa County nonprofit organizations. All giving is through the online portal.  Click here to go directly to our page in the 2023 Give!Guide.

Need another incentive to make a donation?  This year we are offering a Special Opportunity in the form of a Friends of the Napa Library Wine Gift Basket.  Every donor will be entered into a drawing to win and on Friday, December 29, 2023 at 5pm PST, one lucky donor will be selected to receive this exciting gift basket.

Want to know where your donation goes?  We support many of the community programs at the Napa Library as well as many children’s programs.  Visit our post “Where the Money Goes” to learn about the programs you support with your donations. Recently, we were able to fund the Memory Lab located by the Reference Desk at the Napa County Library. In it you will find computers, printers, scanners and software to organize your family’s photos and documents and create exciting ways to share those memories with others.

We are honored to be one of the 76 local non-profit organizations participating in the 2023 Give!Guide. CanDo created this giving vehicle to provide Napa a single location to support the nonprofit community.

WHEW! FIRST OF ALL – A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CONTRIBUTED TO ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL BOOK SALE.

We have a very special community that supports the Friends in many ways. Thank you to those who keep on donating the books that we sell. Thank you our members who recognize the importance of our work. Thank you to our volunteers who sort and clean the donated books, set up the book sales, work the books sales by checking out purchases and/or keep the shelves stocked and take the whole thing down at the end of each sale. They do this 3 times a year!! And finally, thank you to the Napa Library. They support our mission as we support theirs.

We are looking forward to Friends of the Library Week later this month. Watch this space for the date and time of our celebration. And you know our celebrations always means free books to children.

As we gear up for the December book sale – remember books always make great gifts! – we will be participating in the 2023 CanDo Give!Guide.  Napa non-profits are presented in one easy-to-use donation platform.  It’s a one stop shop for your year end giving.  Watch this site for more information about how the Friends is participating, what giving bonus’s we have to offer  (yes, lucky donors can be rewarded for donating, how’s that for incentive to participate!) and how to find us in the Give!Guide.
