Our Friends have been working hard collecting an expansive catalog of items for you to bid on. We are also also adding as many “book bundles” as we can in lieu of our usual Oktoberfest book sale. Please check it out! Bidding starts October 3–let’s have fun with this!
The Friends of the Library welcome you to our first ever FALL ONLINE AUCTION!
Bidding begins on October third and goes through the fourteenth. If you have an item or service you would like to donate, please let us know by October 1.
All proceeds earned from this auction will be deposited in the Library’s interest-bearing building fund, reserved for making the Library accessible to all patrons, regardless of age or ability. A donation or bid on any of these items is an investment in a future where the Library has a) an entrance that is accessible, b) code-compliant paved parking, c) an elevator to provide access to both floors, and d) an accessible public restroom.
Please be generous and help us get the Library closer to its $400,000 goal! Learn more about the Library Renovation Project here! And learn more about the Friends of the Library here!
IMPORTANT DETAILS ABOUT OUR AUCTION:
This is a NO RESERVE auction, which means that as long as the starting bid is met, the item will sell!
