Our Story
Our journey began when we realized the need for a thoughtful solution to rehome books. We were retiring to Florida from Milwaukee and realized I needed to find a new home for all my books that would not make the journey to Florida.
I am a retired firefighter with a deep passion for serving both my community and the environment. I retired in 2013. In December of 2024 I found a need to began repurposing the books I have collected, ensuring they continue to bring knowledge and joy to others. Some books are resold online, while many are redistributed within the community, keeping valuable stories and information circulating.
About Me
Welcome to Give Books Naples! My name is Ted Uribe, and I’m the proud owner of this family-run business. Our mission is simple: to provide a compassionate and reliable service to our community while giving books a second chance to be loved and appreciated.
