Friends of the Library Fall Online Auction Ready to View
It's here, folks! The Friends of the Simon Fairfield Public Library have put in a very impressive effort to bring us a catalog of 158 items donated by individuals and businesses in the area. Bidding will start on October 2 (Douglas Oktoberfest!) and last through October 16. Print versions of the catalog will be available at the Library in the week leading up to Oktoberfest, but you can see the electronic catalog and register to bid right now: https://charityauction.bid/sfpl2021
I want to thank the Friends of the Library, everyone who donated items, and everyone who will be bidding in the first two weeks of October for taking part in this fundraiser. All of the money raised by the auction will be going directly into the Library's interest-bearing building account and reserved for an accessibility renovation that is getting closer to becoming a reality with every dollar raised. We have reached 26% of our $400,000 capital campaign goal. I can't wait to find out where we land after the auction.
The Friends will also have their annual book and plant sale as usual during Oktobefest, so don't forget to visit on the big day. If you have plants you would like to donate to the sale, contact Kristen at douglasplants@gmail.com. We still have pots behind the Library if you need one to put a plant in.
