It is with great pleasure that I have been introduced to Paul Rippert by mutual friend and Bookmobile donor Shannon Trayle. Shannon has been a terrific volunteer for COTS at the Mary Isaak Center shelter in Petaluma, where I met her, and quickly became enthusiastic about what the Bookmobile is doing with literacy outreach. She pitched the idea of hosting a drop-off box to her friend Paul, and he graciously agreed. The box has just been set in place and book donations are now accepted at his cylinder head specialty shop – Paul’s Empire Head Shop & Engine Supply. The location is very convenient to downtown Santa Rosa: it’s a bright blue building just off West Third Street (and easily visible from it) near the freeway. The address is 112 Roberts Avenue, and the phone is 546-4324.
An exciting aspect of this location is that it boasts a large mail slot next to the front door. I mean this is a serious slot, and could probably accommodate even the latest Clancy thriller. With the drop box positioned on the other side, we can accept donations here 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!
So don’t forget to tell your friends how easy it is to get books to us now. All four of our drop-off locations are listed on our “Donate Books” page, which is accessible through our “Help Us!” page.
