We are in the midst of redoing our web site and parts of it are broken and with no navigation or too many top navigation borders that mean you have to scroll down to get to the page content. We are fixing it as fast as we can, and beg your patience. Using the back button sometimes helps. If you can't find what you need, please use our site with shopping cart at www.barbsteachinghelp.com

How to Contact Us -

We expect to be keeping our regular hours for phone inquiries are 10 AM-2 PM Pacific time, on weekdays. Our fax machine is always on, as is our answering machine, as long as the power is on. We do have outages, but they only occur about three or four times a year.
You may contact us by e-mail at barbsbooks@sbcglobal.net
Please email all inquiries
We will answer your email as soon as possible.  If you need a call back, please put your phone number in your email message.
You may call us at (800) 925-8587, but
it is always better to inquire by email if possible. It prevents playing telephone tag. We will probably respond within 24 hours, and then you can call in a credit card number if you want to when you know we have the book.
You may fax orders to (805) 237-9639. Be sure to include your phone number and your preferred shipping method -- book rate or priority.
We are in the Pacific Time Zone
We are most likely to answer your calls in person between the hours of 10:30  A.M and 2 P.M., Pacific Time
Monday - Friday
If you do not get a response within a few hours
, please check Upcoming Events.

If we are supposed to be in town, and you don't get a quick response, or if you call and the answering machine does not respond after four rings, assume our phone lines and/or electricity are down, and we will respond as soon as they are restored.
We are in an area of California that often experiences rolling blackouts.
If one of us is here, we will answer the phone in person immediately.
You will not get a menu.
Our mailing address is
Barb's People Builders, 3420 Highway 46 West, Templeton, CA 93465
People who live near us or who are passing through may come pick up their orders to save shipping or browse our warehouse in Paso Robles. Please call for appointment first.

 

 

We're in the Pacific Time Zone
Our normal office hours when we answer the phone are 10: 30 AM - 4 PM Monday - Friday.
We answer email and ship at other times, but normally take Sundays off.
 

We prefer you ask your questions about products and availability by e-mail (barbsbooks@sbcglobal.net), since that gives us more time to prepare a thoughtful answer and keeps us from playing phone tag. Please remember to put our email address in your address book if you have a spam filter or you won't ever get your answer unless you also leave a phone number. We cannot usually tell you immediately over the phone if a book is here. We have to walk two blocks to check the warehouse, so I usually have to call you back or email you anyway.  We do check our e-mail frequently throughout the day when we are at home. If we should be out, and you leave a message on our answering machine, we sometimes cannot hear the phone number clearly to return your call. Those are some reasons why we recommend you email us first. If you want us to call you, please leave your phone number and time zone.
When you do email us, please do not leave the subject blank or just say "Hi" or "Hello" as the subject. We delete those before opening because a lot of spam messages look like that. 
We have supplied a subject line in the link provided above that will guarantee your mail will be opened fast.
Or call (800)925-8587 (not before 10 AM or after 10 PM Pacific Time)
