Shopping the books for sale on our Amazon store is a great way to support the Santa Clara City Library Foundation and Friends any time. We’ve always got over 1,000 books listed for sale.
Our online bookstore, despite being on Amazon, is a community-based operation. The books that we sell here are donated by people who live in Santa Clara and Silicon Valley. The books are listed by volunteers, stored at the Library while we wait for someone to buy them, and our volunteers send out sold books. Our volunteers – all people who love the Santa Clara City Library – handle all the customer service. And the profits from the books we sell support the Santa Clara City Library, helping to fund classes, events, and resources at all three branches.
So we ask that if you are looking for a book to read, you support your community by shopping at your local online used bookstore: the Friends of the Santa Clara City Library on Amazon. It’s a great place to start your search for something to entertain or educate yourself, your friends, or your family, all while supporting your library and your community!
