THANK YOU FOR 20 GREAT YEARS ON GRANT AVENUE IN NOVATO!

We’re looking for new team members at The Book Place. If you have a few hours to spare every month, we’d love to talk with you about volunteering. We’re looking for energetic readers who like talking about books with visitors, those who love libraries and want to give back to their community. Besides cashier duties, you’ll help customers look for books, make recommendations, and restock/tidy our shelves. If you’re interested, send us an email at mcflfriends@gmail.com or call our Volunteer Coordinator, Marcie, at (303) 548-3624. Join us!

Donation Info

​

We are always in need of gently-used materials to keep our selection fresh. We are in particular need of the non-Fiction categories: History, Biography, Military, Science, etc. However, we ask that you check the Donations Guidelines before packing your donation, as many categories have limits (such as, nothing published more than 5 years ago). We accept donations on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, 10am-3pm, at our large rollup door behind the store. Pull into the parking lot and look for us, where we’ll quickly screen your donation and provide a receipt if you like. If you are donating more than 2-3 bags/boxes, please phone ahead (415-209-0212) to check if we have room to take your donation, or if you have questions about anything you wish to donate. Thanks in advance!

The Book Place is operated by the Friends of the Marin County Free Library, a nonprofit volunteer organization. All proceeds are used for special programs, needs, and materials for the Marin County Free Libraries.
