Gift Basket Silent Auction
The library's annual Gift Basket Silent Auction fundraiser runs from Wednesday November 15 through Friday December 15 at 4:45 pm. Baskets not picked up after 5 business days will go to the next highest bidder unless other arrangements are made.
Those interested can bid during library hours on festive baskets with themes such as tea, food, crafts, and many more. Profiles of each basket are available here. Bidding can be done in person or by phone. Every time you visit the library, you can check out a book and check your bids — supporting the library and Christmas shopping at the same time. For phone bidding, call 548-2303 during library hours, and tell us which basket you want to bid on.
Thank you for your support!
