 | I'm a school teacher who puts books on the net. My classroom is stocked with books from Palo Alto sales: dictionaries, posters, history texts. Books I don't put on the net I donate. |
|
Please keep this space for the Book Sale as it provides one of the most meaningful services to the community. |
|
I plan life my life around the monthly book sale. This is the GREATEST "bookstore." I've been coming here for years. |
|
Our whole family enjoys the sale and as long-time Palo Alto residents urge you to help save what we consider a true cultural resource (and a lot of fun to boot). |
|
The Palo Alto library book sales are almost my sole source of books. Every month I find some "treasures." Don't let these sales come to an end. Thanks. |
|
The book sale serves a community need. |
|
I'm a full time buyer for Alibris.com, the largest owner of used books for sale online in the world, and Friends' organization is the best I know of. An invaluable resource! |
|
GREAT SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. |
|
Please give FOPAL a place where they can continue to provide wonderful service to the community. Thanks. |
|
I love the books, such prices! |
|
The sale provides me with economical ways to have reference books for my college papers. |
|
You should come to the sales and see what we are giving to the community. |
|
This is an opportunity for such assistance to the entire community - please continue. |
|
Greatest variety and basic books in all fields at reasonable prices is a major contribution to cultural development. |
|
The book sale is the highlight of my month! Please don't let it fade away. This sale and the Farmer's Market are the two best community events going! |
|
This is a good sale -- don't let them down. |
|
Save the sales. |

I very much look forward to the library sales to the library sales every month. I hate to think these sales might end. |
|
I love the sales and the workers and the other buyers. It speaks well for Palo Alto. |
|
The Friends of the Palo Alto book sales are much a staple of the community and neighboring counties. The books are much read in today's education. |
|
This is a good thing -- please support it. |
|
Palo Alto needs them! |
|
Keep the book sales going! |
|
The book sale is on my calendar every month. |
|
NO! NO! NO! THIS MUST NOT BE CLOSED. |
|
Book sales not only benefit the libraries but also offer books at reduced prices for those who cannot afford books at full price. |
|
This book sale is an institution. It must be preserved. |
|
I want to continue the book sale. |
|
This is my first visit to the book sale and I think it's fantastic. I'd hate to think that books such as these would go to waste. Don't you care about what the people love? Please help us. |
|
I like to keep the book sale going. |
|
We love the book sale. Keep it open. |
|
The Geists love good books. |

I think sales are great! It always is good to have a discovery! |
|
Please help Friends locate space for sales which serve such an outstanding cause - books for the whole community! |
|
Help! Help! Many people depend on reading low cost books. |
|
THIS IS AN INVALUABLE SERVICE THAT MUST BE MAINTAINED. |
|
I enjoy coming and seeing all the wonderful selections of books. |
|

|
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO GET ADDITIONAL SPACE FOR BENEFIT OF READING PUBLIC. |
|
These sales are great and should be continued. |

Why? Why? Why? Why take away something that adds happiness and literacy to our lives!!? |
|
Libraries and schools! |
|
Please, please. |
|
What a fantastic community institution, so unique. It would be a great loss to the community if it does not persist. |

|
Keep it going! |
|
The JCC is a really valuable place, ever since growing up I've been coming to do stuff with Friends. |
|
Find a place soon. |
|
As a recent customer I value these sales and look forward to them. |
|
They need more space than they had 5 years ago, but they could get by with less than they currently have. |
|
Great service recycling books and raising funds for our libraries! Keep it going, please! |
|
Gives so many people who read wonderful books at a price. Today's world needs bargains for book lovers. |
|
For heavens sake, don't let the book sales stop. |
|
The book sale is a terrific community service, and what better way to raise funds in Palo Alto than selling books. |
|
The book sale is an important source of community life. |
|
This has been such a pleasure event for my family. |

PA is a commuity of readers. These sales help me build a quality classroom library |
|
The book sale allows me to afford to send books to the grandchildren, young neighbors and friends. It really promotes reading. |
|
Wonderful community resource and a great way to recycle books. |

$100k/yr? Where is the library going to make up the deficit? |
|
Children love the sale and get to choose books that build their own library. |
|
The Friends of the Library book sales are a wonderful institution. Please do everything possible to save them. |
|
Save the space! |

The greatest idea since sliced bread. |
|
First time. The # of books was a significant attraction. Found on a book sale website. |
|
Always a good source of antique books at as reasonable price. |
|
Kiss off $500/ year motel and restaurant business if you lose your book sale and other attractions. |
|
We have been in this country 1½ years and I come to the sales regularly. They help me and my kids. I want Hebrew language. |
|
Reading book is really important for kids. The cost of book is so high so I want book sail should be continue so we can improve our English. |
|
The book sale is always like a treasure chest! As homeschoolers and parents who take education seriously we rely on sources like this. Please continue! |
|
This place has probably 8 miles of books. I haven't counted every book but it seems like putting all these books in a closet to be impossible. |
|
What a resource the Friends of the Library organization is! Take care of it!! |
|
A great resource and space must be found. |
|
We need the room. $100k/yr is not peanuts. |
|
This is the best resource for "old" technical books. It is part of the heritage of this Valley. Please continue to have this available to ALL. |
|
I would like to see the book sales continue. It is a nice aspect of the community. |

Great location for everyone. |
|
This is ultimate reuse, recycling - a valuable service for community. |

I've got two daughters who are 1st grade teachers and they've outfitted their classrooms with libraries from your book sales. |
|
PLEASE find a home for the book sale. I look forward to it every month. |
|
My wife works at the sales. That give me some free time. Really, it's one of the few good things too worthwhile to lose. |
|
This is something every Palo Altan who cares about books wants. Listen to the voters. |
|
The continuation of the popular, volunteer-run recycling of books is a service that deserves to continue. |
|
Must find a place. |
|
Very important! Keep this service! |

|
This sale and site is an enriching part of my life in Palo Alto. |
|
Our family loves this sale. This an excellent example of recycling that our kids can participate in. |
|
This is the most amazing book sale. There is no other organization of volunteers that matches this. |
|
This book sale gets such a rich variety of literature available not only to the residents of PA but also MV and MP and Sunnyvale. Most of all it gives the residents of PA [the opportunity] to circulate what they have and share it with other members of the community. The location of this sale is very important to its turnover. Please maintain it the same. |
|
This book sale is really helpful and I request full support for the site. |

This sale is tremendous even compared to Burlingame, SFSU Library sales. Keep it going! |
|
Please find a new home for the book sale. |
|
Book sale is a monthly institution which is enjoyed and NEEDED by the entire area. |
|
How will such a volume of material be RECYCLED rather than TRASHED? Keep the MOMENTUM -- such a large volunteer organization would be difficult to resurrect! |
|
Wonderful contribution to the community -- keep reading alive and affordable!! |
|
A well run and much appreciated public service. |
|
A very good community service. |
|
The book sale is a great event. I can't imagine doing without it! |
|
People are really enjoying the sale, and I believe it encourages an interest in books as a resource and reading as a pleasure. |
|
Do we really want 20,000 books per month in the landfill -- incredible! Menlo Park doesn't do it - they value books as WE DO! |
|
Desperate situation! |
|
15,000 books sold every month! Does the City want them in the landfill? The book sale held every month is an institution and a great gathering of book lovers. Try to find space for it now. |
|
These sales benefit everyone. Please help them find a space to continue this worthy project! |
|
We must have space. |
|
The monthly book sales are a Palo Alto institution which connects people to books in an outstanding community effort. It clearly merits the City's continued support. |
|
Palo Alto is a City of book lovers as has been demonstrated this weekend - crowds of book buyer both Saturday and Sunday! |
|
Don't do this! |
|
This volunteer group donates over $100,000 a year to the City. Aren't they as valuable as the nonprofits who receive so much staff help from the City? |
|
City should keep the book sale open. |
|
I am so pleased with the volunteer's activity. |
|
Great service |
|
Very helpful |
|
This is why I live in Palo Alto. |
|
A great loss if the sale disappears. |
|
Best book sale in the San Francisco Bay area. A real asset to the community. |
|
This book sale is a great way to encourage people and children to read more. I love coming to the book sales. |
|
We need the space badly as the community around here enjoys this quite a lot. |
|
Excellent service - extra space would make their service better. |
|
As the book sale manager I am astounded by the dedication of our 100 volunteers. This is a public service benefiting the libraries, the individuals who work here and those who shop here! |
|
Great way to encourage reading! |
|
The monthly book sale of Friends of the PA Library is a community treasure. It benefits all our citizens as we start to understand the world we live in. |
|
A good public service. |
|
I visit here regularly. This is one of the best sales around. |
|
Very useful business. |
|
Large collection of classic books that are hard to find in the libraries. |
|
As a useful vehicle to help support the libraries - space for these used books is essential. |
|
We enjoy every sale. |
|
This a great opportunity to buy books I probably couldn't afford to without this sale. |
