Friends of the Napa Library

Imagine not being able to read, having no one to help with your homework, being unable to afford summer programs for your child, or being older and struggling with phones or tablets. Every day, through funding and volunteers, we play a pivotal role in ensuring our library can address these and many other pressing needs, from the Summer Reading Program to the Memory Lab.

Our impact extends beyond the library’s walls as we donate books to schools, laundromats, senior housing, local hospitals, family centers, the local jail and others. Most importantly, we provide thousands of free books each year to children, so they can celebrate the joy of reading and the cherished feeling of owning a book.

By promoting literacy and lifelong learning, we seek to increase everyone’s opportunity. Your support keeps our library a vibrant center of learning, cultural enrichment, and community engagement, where everyone can find inspiration and a sense of belonging, from a young mother teaching a child to read to a senior citizen preserving memories.
