March at The Book Place
We’re celebrating Women’s History Month throughout the month with a $2.00 special. All books, whether it be a biography or memoir, History, women’s issues, True Adventure, women writers or artists, etc. (you get the picture) are just $2.00 each. Drop by and be inspired by some fabulous women! (Specially-priced books excluded.)
We’ve taken a cross-section of them and FILLED the front window, but you’ll find much more as you browse the shelves.
We take Requests - send us an email, we’ll look for the book to save time, or, if it’s a book we don’t have in stock, get on our waitlist, and we’ll let you know when it comes in.
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.
