The mission of The Friends of the Marina Library is to provide advocacy, funding, and volunteer resources to support the Marina Branch Library in order to meet the needs of our community.
NEW! We have opened a used bookstore in Marina! Check out the Friends' Community Bookstore, located at 330 Reservation Road Suite F in the Marina Town Plaza shopping center.
Books and other used materials are for sale at our low cost prices Tuesday-Sunday 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Our store is all-volunteer run with proceeds benefiting the Marina Library (and County library system).
To volunteer or donate books, stop by, or call bookstore Manager Joanne Bowman at 831-747-1850 or books.foml@gmail.com
We receive hundreds of donated books each month. We sell them at our bi-monthly book sales, and we sell them on Amazon. Could you help us?
We will show you how to list books on Amazon.com. We sold over $15,000 worth of books this way last year. We do our book scanning and listing once or twice a week at our store at 330 Reservation Rd Suite F in Marina. Help us and you will get the first look and first pick of all our inventory while you learn the basics of being a book dealer! Scanning usually happens on Saturday and one week day per week. email Dana at cleahoff@gmail.com if you want to volunteer. All volunteer work is done by appointment.
If you enjoy helping the public find great books, come help us at our bi-monthly book sales. Click on our Book Sales page for details.
To learn more about processing books for Amazon, email books.foml@gmail.com.
